Memory information within DSDT Causing error?

I had 10.6.3 working on my laptop with DSDT and loved it.
(compiled my dsdt with dsdtSE through 10.5.8)

I cleaned up the DSDT myself and had no problems with my machine (honest truth!). I recently put new Ram in my machine and this is when it gets weird. I have 3 OS's (10.6.3, 10.5.8, Win7) all on separate drives. Leopard and 7 Load just fine but 10.6.3 did not load. Snow Leopard would get to white loading screen but no progress circle.

After talking to some very helpful people someone requested I remove my DSDT from my folder. Once removed.. Progress circle came back but still would not kick over.

I was told that it could be my DSDT that was causing this issue with the ram. I am wondering if this idea has any merit? My DSDT from only had 4 warnings (3 return values to 0 and 1 all alpha/numeric). I don't see how these could cause the DSDT to not load snow leopard. However, the DSDT that was I was using was made when I had the original RAM in the machine.

Any thoughts, opinions or advice is greatly appreciated.

That's exactly what happened. The DSDT had memory locked at 1gb limit due to the original ram in my laptop and it caused havoc like you wouldn't believe.

Most people could just change your dsdt memory section but I was too late and ended up reformatting and installing.
