as already stated the memory MUST be fitted in Matched pairs but are you sure you have the right memory?
you say your machine is a late 05 model but the only late 05 models i know of are the 2.0Ghz dual core, the 2.3Ghz dual core & the 2.5Ghz Quad
even the early 2005 models had different ram to the late 2005 spec
early has PC3200 DDR 184pin sticks
late has PC4200 DDR2 240 pin sticks
check which model you have, if unsure download mactracker which should help
