RAM - 512Mb Wont work with 256Mb

I bought some new RAM today, 512Mb to get my computer finally going :D

after putting the 512 into the empty slot and switching it on, it would only detect the 256Mb stick already in the computer. I swapped them round in the ports (theres only 2 ports), and after switching back on, the 256 would still be the only one working. I decided to try the 512 on its own, which indeed worked by itself. But when I put the 256 back in, the computer goes back down to 256.

Ive searched around the forum for ideas (I took the battery out the mobo for a bit, and changed BIOS settings), but nothing was successful.

My friend said it could have something to do with latencies. Is there anything I can do about this?

Thanks
