I'm not 100% certain that what I'm about to say is correct as I don't know enough about Apple Mac computers, but it may be down to the density of the RAM modules that you're thinking of buying. I experienced a similar problem with my PC, which won't function with high-density RAM modules. (These are the ones that are generally on sale through eBay as they're cheaper than low-density modules.) In the end, I purchased my RAM modules from Crucial as they guarantee that if you give the name and model of your motherboard, that they'll supply you with the correct RAM.
"When a RAM module is built, the manufacturer can design it using high density or low density chips. For example, modules built with 4 x 32Mb chips, 8 x 16Mb chips or 16 x 8Mb chips all come out to the same amount of RAM. However, the memory controller circuit in a computer must be able to address the chips on the module - if the memory controller cannot address higher density chips, that computer will only function with modules built with lower density chips." - http://www.canadaram.com/glossaryofterms.htm
See some of the pages listed below for a better explanation of RAM density than I could ever hope to give.
