It says my mobo max memory is 4gb (i have that installed) so I guess that I will need a new motherboard to increase the memory  :(

You have to be running a 64bit version of either Windows XP/Vista/7 to fully support 4Gb and above.

I have an aBit KN9 Ultra for sale, paired with an Athlon 64 X2 6400 and Ivo120 HS/Fan - supports 8Gig of DDR2 PC6400 (damn - there's a lot of 64s in that)
