Be sure the sticks really are the same, if they don't match it will not load properly.

well you mentioned using the memory for another comp, could you put the old memory in and use your pc3200 in the other comp?

You cannot mix differeny types of RAM they do not read at the same speed or bus speed, thus the errors would be unbelievable... they have not allowed this in most hardware.
