Your motherboard supports ddr 400/333 or ddr2-533mhz. It should have no problem with the Kingston 1Gb ddr2 533mhz.

With regard to the 1Gb ddr 400mhz that came from another PC, you could have tried cleaning the pins w/ the eraser tip of a pencil and then reseating it twice before locking in, preferably alone.
