Can't get 3 RAM sticks to work.

I was previously running 2x512mb DDR400 and 2x256mb DDR333 sticks of RAM for a total of 1.5gb and it worked fine. Today I went out a bought a 1gb stick to replace the two 256mb sticks but I can't seem to get it to work. My motherboard (MSI K8N Neo if I remember correctly) has 4 RAM slots, 2 green and 2 purple in alternating formation. I can get it to register up to 1.5g with the three sticks in there but I can't for the life of me get it to recognise all three. Anyone got any ideas?
 
I have the K8n Neo as well, and it says in the manual that the memory configuration you are trying to use is not supported.

What does that mean? I can't decipher it.
 
I read the manual before I bought the stick, it says nothing about 3 sticks not being supported, it just says they can't run in dual channel mode. Sigh, well I've tried every possible combination of positions of memory modules on the motherboard and it won't work so I guess it's not supported.
