New ASUS A7V-E, 300W case, DURON 800, 64MB PC100.

Installed only the CPU+FAN, RAM, PCI VGA, KB, and boot hangs
on the first post screen. Can't even enter BIOS setup.

The memory size is sometimes displayed and on few other attempts it was not.

I bought the RAM over a year ago and it was rated PC100. Is it possible the RAM is really slower ?
How can I tell from the markings on the RAM if it is PC100 ?

Can the problem be related to anything other than RAM ?
