Default Memory problem

So, I'm putting Win7 on the wife's computer, and I notice it's only showing 2gb of ram instead of 4. I'd dropped my 2x2GB sticks in that computer after upgrading mine to an i7 rig, so I figured something went awry then. After pulling and reseating both DIMMs, the computer shows 4gb, but it's slow. It's like it's running on a 386SX-16. Pull out one of the DIMMs...works fine. Put that DIMM back in....glacially slow. I figure it's a bad DIMM, but I've never had that happen. Boots fine, no BSOD, no errors, nothing, just sloooooooow.
