always use the memory manufacturers website selectors or configurators to verify compatiblity
if THEY dont list one gig sticks for your board as an option; then it aint gonna happen
corsair / crucial / OCZ / gskill / Patriot / muskin all have configurators

The thing is, the system won't now boot even with the original RAM installed - 2 x 256MB sticks. The motherboard manual clearly states the maximum memory up to 1GB in each of the 3 slots - total 3GB.
Linderman, thanks for the link but think that's the wrong board. This is mine

which indicates 1GB is OK.
cheers
