can the bios handle 2 gb?
Are they paired sticks, and in correct slots?

take out the old, try again with only the new blocks
if not then try only with 1024
if it's one block you just wasted a few $$$ICQ# 143561781Comment

something that i thought had nothing to do with the ram....i had also installed a firewire card at the same time. i have removed the firewire card now and it seems to work fine. could it be that it needs a bigger power supply?
thank you so much for all your replies.

IF that's the case, could just be some shared IRQ problems or something similar.

Try switching around which pci slot the firewire card is plugged into, not a psu problem when ram won't show up (ram takes so little power that it really couldn't be that). Has to be a sharing violation of resources like munki suggested.
