Motherboard / ram problems

[antipyretiquel]

Hello

I'm having some trouble with my K7S5A PRO motherboard, I just picked up some corsair pc2100 ddr dimm sticks and when I try to put them in the motherboard will not post. I've tried some different settings in the bios but to no avail. I have not tried all of them, I'm not sure what settings I should have, but this is getting really frustrating. Anyone have any solutn's?

Is your corsair single sided or double sided ram? Are you trying to mix it with other ram already in the system? Originally, this board might work with 2 512 meg sticks; if you have 1 gig sticks, it may not work. And you can't mix it with pc133 which goes in the other 2 slots.

the ram is double sided - no other ram in the board. I have tried just putting the one stick in (512 megs) and the thing won't even post.
