My memory sticks arrived today, I took my single 256mb stick out and replaced it with two 512 sticks. When I connected it all back up the computer lit up but there was no input to the moniter :(. I replaced them with the original stick until I can find out what the problem is. On the current stick it says "CCC" on the memory, one the new ones is says ECC, are these not compatible?!
Umm - ECC RAM (Error correcting code) is normally used in Servers and high end workstations (also the Mac Pro).
I suspect that it may not be interchangeable with the standard DDR2 as used in your machine. Big issue here is that it fits in the same DIMM sockets. You may want to see if you can exchange it.
