I got a pair of 512MB sticks of Mushkin Redline PC3200 from Monarch this week but cannot get them to work in my MSI Neo4 Platinum. Even if I try just one stick in any of the slots, memtest86 quickly kicks up errors. This is at stock settings too. I guess this memory is incompatible with the motherboard?

Supplying enough voltage? Timings not too tight? I don't really know of any, but I would be really surprised if this was an incompatibility issue... Have you tried the sticks in another comp?

EDIT: Try a newer BIOS, 1.6 isn't that recent anymore...

1.6 was the last good BIOS. The versions since then have been stripped of their memory dividers.

And then why am I running my HTT at 300MHz, while my RAM is at 200MHz...? Ok, there aren't much options, but setting a divider is still possible...

I have BIOS 1.9...
