Just a long shot but....1 stick could be bad. Try
loading up 1 stick at a time and see what each registers
as. Are you sharing any RAM with video?

(KVR266X72C25/1G) and Windows XP only sees this as 3.5 GB
of RAM. As a WinXP MCP, I have been led to believe that
WinXP can support 4 GB of RAM, so what am I doing wrong?
