Can only run 64bit with 4GB of ram, 32 bit apps crash

I am building my first hackintosh and these are my specs. I have an AMD phenom II X6 1055t, gigabyte 880ga-UD3H mobo, ati 4850, and 8GB of ram (2x4GB). Everything works great in both 32 and 64 bit as long as I am only running 4GB of ram but when I try to use 8GB I have issues. I am using the newest 10.6 kernel. If I start up the machine with 4GB of ram in 64 bit mode all apps work fine, both 32 and 64 bit apps, I can check them in activity monitor and see that some of each are running. If I turn off the system and insert the other 4GB of ram (for a total of 8GB) I have problems. I can start up the machine it starts up fine no issues. Once it boots I can pull up the about this mac and see that it is running 8GB of ram, but when I try to run a 32 bit app it instantly crashes. If I check activity monitor it only shows 64 bit apps running. Been trying to figure this out for days any help would be greatly appreciated.
