This video demonstrates how to correctly install RAM (Ready Access Memory) into the motherboard of your computer.
Step 1: locate your DIMM slots. Pull back the white pins to make sure they are in an open position.
Step 2: Line up the pins. Note that one side of the RAM is slightly longer than the other. Make sure you align them correctly so that the gap on the RAM line up with the gap on the DIMM slot.
Note: If you are building your computer for Windows Vista, you may want to install just one stick of RAM, as you will need an update to handle more than 3GB of RAM. After setting up your computer and updated it, you can then install additional RAM.
