it says that because it calculates the maximim if you had the same in every slot so i should take 3 gig in total if you had 3 x 1 gig sticks. also you should have that single module in memory slot 1 rather than slot 3 you might want to update your bios anyway as its 3 yrs old now
according to this link you have the latest bios version for your board. http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Downlo...BIOS&DetailDesc=K7VTA3(5.0)&MenuID=35&LanID=0
