Hi 5LUG, is it displaying correctly in the BIOS?

These problems normally occur if the RAM chips are of different make / speed.
Take a look at the chips and make sure they are all the same, you should be looking for something like PC 100 or PC 133.

Otherwise try and put the two 512 chips in at the same time and see what speed it shows up as.

You can also put 1 chip in at a time and see what they show up as.

mad gamer what do you mean is it displayign correctly in bios... i went to bios to see if anything thatcould mess it up was disabeled or somthing, but it all looked good, could you tell me what you mean by that?

and zimbo, is thair an app that will tell me what the speeds are... i honestly dont feel like opening it up again and risking somthing elce bad happening? i know that is nubish but i have had many bad experiances.

Another reason it might not be registering is because you put it in backwards.

well the 2 little white holders latched on... i dont know if it would even go on if i did that, you realy think it is possible?

Trust me, its possible to be backwards like that.
