    After a hard day stuffing the spammers and noobs for being...well noobs, there is nothing like a nice beer!

    Recommendation (after today): Vodka straight!

    Back to the topic....

    Did you get a model number when you purchased the RAM? Does it match what is printed on the RAM? Where did you purchase it?

    There's a good chance that the motherboard just doesn't support sticks that large. Being the age it is, I doubt there are any BIOS updates to fix it either.

    Other things to look at, what ammount does it show when you're booting your computer (the BIOS screen). You could also try running a memory testing program like Memtest86 to make sure the stick is not horribly bad.
