What you are describing is the natural behavior of a Shuttle box who doesn't either like the memory or, doesn't like the default SPD timings the BIOS sets. Therefore, it doesn't register memory.
If you have another stick of a different brand of memory, try that first. Also, try resetting the CMOS jumper to clear out any unwanted settings. Again, if I were a wagering kind of guy, I'd say its a compatibility issue with the memory and the Shuttle Box.

Or, at least the rev. 1.x models don't. Verify the rev of board your Shuttle has. It says that there isn't a problem with running it, but depending on what rev the BIOS is flashed to, there might be a problem but I cannot say for sure. Let us know what rev. of board you have so we might narrow this down further.

On the page you linked...Remarks

But the 2.4A is a Northwood core, not Prescott.

Weird.
I thought all Prescotts were supposed to have an "E" suffix?
Joeg_7 wrote:Intel is smoking to much crack. Longer pipeline, hotter core, equal or less performance? I perfer AMD just because of the price to performance ratio and still like Intel just can't afford it and now it seems wouldn't buy it even if I could. When Intel gets there 90nm process fixed and adds 64bit extentions they'll be back on top but for now AMD is king.
mstrmold wrote:Arg. My mistake. I meant to watch out for Prescotts. I read the quote from Shuttles support page for this box and noticed that there wasn't any mention of the Prescott CPU but my brain said HyperThread because of the quote. Thanks for all who pointed this out. As stated, this looks to be a compatibility issue with the newer Intel core and this box.

They should be able to "test" this configuration to see that they work before sending it back out to you. I'm just having a hard time with them all being swapped out and having the exact same problem. If you can rule out the individual components being faulty, then it's probably some sort of compatibility issue.
Also, make sure it was swapped out. On a couple of occations of taking stuff back that was DOA to a local electronics store with no mention of name (cough, Frys, cough), I told the person the processor was dead and went to pickup my new "replacement" processor. Guess what I got? Thats right, the same processor. How did I know? It had some of the thermal paste on the top of the chip. Heh, they tried to tell me that they come that way from Intel.

Shuttles can handle it. I didn't realize you didn't need processing power.
Why didn't you go for an AMD based system? AMDs are priced close to celerys and AMD kicks its ass in everyway.
