I am just setting up the new 8 core 3.0 Mac Pro... I have 16GB 2GBx8 sticks. They are all the exact same. Under about this computer, it only says there are 8GB of ram and if i look at the Dimm slots, it says 1-4 on one of the boards is Empty but everything is installed correctly. Could it be a bad board?

Wow, 16GB! What do you do and how much do you acually use?
Maybe the bottom riser was disconnected slighty.
To prevent this from occuring again, make sure both risers are secure and do a PRAM reset for good measure.
