The RAM should work without problems, even if the model isn't in the QVL. What happen if you install the RAM in another rig?
i dont have another rig to test out the ram in. all i know is that when i start the computer, the memOK light blinks for about 1 sec, then the cpu for 2 sec, then back to the mem for about 5-10 sec, and finaly the cpu light blinks real quick and the whole thing shuts off.
