May be the memory modules are incompatible with each other?

I don't think so. Try PC 2700 memory, with the following specs:

PC-2700 (DDR333) 200-pin SODIMM (non-parity = non-ECC, CL 2.5)

For example, Kingston Value RAM 512 MB:

Kingston Value RAM KVR333X64SC25/512

It worked fine in my bro's HP nw8000, which uses the same chipset as nc6000.

I was under the impression that you coulndt use different speed RAM in the same system? As in, they all have to be either pc2100 or pc2700?
