Your motherboard most likely does not support SATA. It should have DDR.

Do you know the exact model?

I am 99% sure you can't have a SATA hard drive.

I think that chipset can have DDR 266.

This might be compatible:

Newegg.com - pqi POWER Series 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 266 (PC 2100) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

It would help though if we knew what the mobo was.
