Ooooohhhh dear. There's your trouble. PC100 RAM is in no way compatible
with PCI PowerMacs of pre-G3 age. PowerMac 5V DIMMs always have their
speed reported in nanosecs (i.e. 80, 70 or 60ns) not MHz (because it is
much slower RAM).
It is sadly likely that the board is now fried as the RAM power circuits
will have over-heated due to insufficient load (theory - may not be) and
done very nasty things ot the logic board, sorry to tbe the bringer of
bad news...
