Hard to say without knowing the specs on the RAM.

My guess, from what I saw when I was looking for RAM for my DA, is that
you get the high density RAM, where the DA needs low density.

The DA needs RAM that fits the following specs:

Specs: SDRAM, PC133 • CL=3 • Unbuffered • Non-parity • 133MHz • 3.3V •
64Meg x 64 / 32x8

Many of the cheaper sticks are not 64M x 64.

Where did you get the RAM and is there anything on the sticks that
describe a type/model?
