I run into this a lot as I do part time computer repair. A good place to
look is to spec out the chipset
on the MB. It will tell you what ram it supports. PNY has a dim that
will adjust to 66/100/133 which will
work in most but sometimes you run into a single or double sided
problem. It has gotten to be a zoo.
On one machine (an HP) I just put the 256 module in bank 0 and the old
128 in bank 1 and it worked.
