I tried installing some Crucial 1024MB PC5400 DDR2 667MHz ECC Memory (CT12872AA667) and the system would not start – just post beeps.
The original memory is PC2-3200R ECC and the place I purchased the new RAM from does not have anything that low in speed. I figured the 5400 should be fine as usually they run at the lower speed.
Can I do something to make it work, or am I out of luck?
Searching online I have found a couple sites that are selling 5400 speed RAM specifically for it!

You've bought unbuffered memory, not registered memory, that model won't run with unbuffered memory.
You should have bought Crucial P/N: CT820201.
Sorry.
