The Dell OptiPlex GX280 can use a maximum of 1GB per slot, with a max speed of PC2-5300, so it should work (assuming the RAM is good). Try updating to the latest BIOS from Dell, as i've seen this issue crop up in 280's / 620's before. You might try the sticks individually in case one of them is bad.
