I'm surprised, I've never had to ship back ram to Crucial.  I do wonder 
just what other ram you have in the computer.

There is one other possibility considering how older motherboards were 
put together, and that's that your old ram won't work with your new ram. 
 I'ld bet you already have PC100 in the slot(s) that work(s), and in 
some computers the computer would not work unless all the ram had the 
same speed.  I suspect if you took the new ram and put it where the old 
ram is, it would work.  Oh yes, one other possibility, your slots may be 
defective too.
