Computer won't startup with new memory

I'm trying to add memory in an old Dell Dimension XPS R-series (not a
new XPS) that does fine with its existing 64 megs of ram but, when I
put the two new sticks in, windows 2000 stops at the end of the long
white bar at startup and refuses to budge. I have heard of a "phantom
jumper" which increases the voltage to the RAM but I cannot find such
a jumper. The motherboard is capable of supporting the two 128 meg
sticks I'm trying to put in there. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
S. Knight

Have you the correct RAM? You can adjust how voltage is sent to RAM in
BIOS, simply change the FSB rating ( I think), but there should also
be an jumper on mb. Check in your mb manual to find it out.
