You say it works with 256Mb, but it wasn't clear to me if you've tried to
pull out the old stick and leave the new stick in the mobo.
Also, have you tried to disable RAM caching in the BIOS? I have seen some
older HPs where we had to replace the cache chip (back in the days where
it was not glued to the mobo) because it flaked out after adding more RAM.
Another thought: It just dawned on me that you're using an ASUS mobo with
w2k - a combination we try to avoid like the plague. Is there something
about the ASUS needing some special drivers? Maybe it needs *another*
special driver when you have 512Mb RAM? (just a wild guess)

Subject: RE: 2000 Server SP2 Blue dump with 512mb memory
MOBO = Asus CUSL2-c (supports 512)
Processor = Intel 1 GHz
Mother board counts all 512 and starts to load 2k server = DUMPS,
2k server will load with 256mb. This is a brand new box so we've tried
different mother board, processor, ram, drive, cd-rom , EVERYTHING to get
it to install. Only successful install was with 256mb ram. After that
when we put in 2nd chip it craps out. We remove chip and all is well.
We've flashed bios on adaptec card, mother board, we've ran diagnositcs on
every component.
I know this has to be issue with 2k and 512mb on the 815e chipset.
However was wondering if someone else had run into this. Other than that
I satisfied with all we've done to note this as an incompatibility
problem.
