It sounds like your motherboard RAM slots don't support 1GB, or at least that particular brand.

That rig will take two 1gb sticks of ram...

Hart, I am wondering if you had seated the ram correctly or if it was bad?

Can you please provide a brand and model number for the memory you purchased?

I have had a similar problem in the past.

It appears that the memory bay has an upper limit on the capapity of RAM it can hold. This is actually a limitation of your mother board.
