There may be weird option for memory redundancy on that machine in the
BIOS.

I can't recall the HP term for it, but you end up with less RAM if it's
on.

Are you mixing any high density modules with low density modules?

Negative on both.

I couldnt see any odd BIOS settings, and compaired to the machine
where the RAM came from.

Right now I have two identical 4GB ram chips in, the 2GB chips are not
marked so I wanted to make sure with the 4GB chips.

Your machine can only see 2GB per slot.
