Bri,
Does the other stick also work in both slots?

Are the both stick completely the same? Twins?
It's not good to use different memory sticks, sooner or later, troubles...

With Both sticks installed does the computer see all 256MB (Look in the BIOS not in windows) BIOS is usually accessed by pressing F2, Delete or Esc on startup (which key varies by computer model so try all three)

What is the Maximum installable memory amount? Example: you can put 2 X 2Gb memory sticks in a MacBookPro but the OS can only see 3GB of the 4 total due to a limitation in the Chipset, is this Machine able to use more than 128MB?

That's a good observation, Mac.    :)

I neglected to notice the 400 mhz when I first read this.    :(

Thanks Charley, I just took the A+ Certification test this past summer so I remember a few thing (I hope :o)

Maybe a memory test tool will be good: for instance, click here or here.
