Won't recognize new RAM card

system profiler says I have:

Size: 256 MB

Type: DDR SDRAM

Speed: PC2700U-25330

Status: OK

I want to swap it with a:

1GB

DDR SDRAM

PC2100U-25330

when i do the swap and restart, profiler says the slot is empty. The 1GB card came from another machine which does recognize it. Why doesn't it work?

The earlier G4 PowerBooks used PC2100 RAM. You are trying to move RAM from a earlier machine to a later one that uses PC2700 RAM. If you want specifics please give the last three letters of your serial numbers and I'll give you links to both machines.
