there's another issue with newer ram on old boards to do with latency and response times. basically i tried a few new sticks in my old cyrix 333 system and none of them worked, even a brand new PC 66 one. then i took a 32mb chip out of a machine of same age and it worked fine. i understand from other forums that this is perfectly normal behaviour but not necessarily great news for you trueman.
btw hope yr enjoying the rugby world cup down there...our boys are gonna give you a hiding in the semis, bout time we beat u at something
