have you tried taking out the smaller stick?

perhaps for some reason the laptop can't accept a 256mb stick.

Do you have any other smaller modules, like a 128 or something?
Maybe that stick is faulty? depending on how old it is, it could be incompatible or unable to handle that size stick. Maybe put the 64meg stick in and try and find a BIOS update?

That is a few things i would try anyway. GL!

Hey Sassy!!

Maybe that board can't take double sided ram either.... just a thought.
