I can attest that this did indeed work. My machine has 2 DIMM's, a 1GB PC2700 and a 256MB PC2700. Removed the 256MB, same issue. Removed the 1GB and put the 256MB back in and it booted up fine. I just happened to have some RAM here, but you should be able to buy some used RAM from eBay or something for testing.
