MSI K8N Master2

Are there any 2GB DIMMS that work in all 6 slots of the MSI K8N Master2?

The spec says it supports up to 12GB of RAM but all the QVL docs only rate it for 4 2GB DIMMS. I can put in 6 (decent, HP server pulls) and it counts up to 12Gb but keels over when it tries to boot. Clocking down to DDR 333 or even 266 makes no difference. All the DIMMS memtest86 fine in other motherbords.

I suspect the DIMM VRM's don't have the grunt to power a full complement of 2GB sticks.
