With this Setup (Old PC3200 , New PC3200 , New PC3200 , Old PC3200) I was able to boot up with 2048 Memory displayed on Startup screen.

Any help an getting this run faster is HIGHLY appreciated

Athlon64 memory controllers don't like running 4 sticks of RAM at 1T. Most people have had this problem. Put the two new sticks in only and you'll see 1T again I bet
