Ballistix Tracer RAM not working properly.

I'm fairly certain I may have to say exactly what kind of RAM stick it is, but it's 1GB DDR, I got two of them today so that I could replace the single stick of 512MB of DDRSD RAM. I did the www.crucial.com scanning tool, and it did say that the Ballistix RAM sticks were compatible with my Motherboard. The thing is, when I installed the stick in (replacing the DDRSD stick) I heard a few beeps and no boot up screen. The monitor actually stayed in power-saving mode.

I know I'll need to give more information about my computer specs, but I don't know what to put down quite yet.

Quick update to this little problem: I found out late last night that my Motherboard/Memory Controller doesn't support non-synchronous RAM. If there is a way for it to recognize it or support it, then I'd be happy to hear, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

The Model is an Intel Corporation D845GERG3 according to the HWiNFO32 program, but the intel site only has the D845GERG2 listed as an archived desktop with a similar model.

The computer is roughly 4.5 years old, save for the semi-new ATI 9800.
