Answer 1

it is easy just open the PC tower and look for a slot that has a stick that looks like it there should be one beside it then just put it in that slot.it is vary easy i put memory in my PC when i was 10years old.

Answer 2

Chances are extremely good that it won't even fit into your computer. If your computer is less than 5 years old, it won't, period. If it's roughly 5 years old, then download this: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php then install it, and run it. If, under the memory tab, it says your computer has DDR-SDRAM, then you can't use it.

If it says that you have SDRAM, then you'll probably be able to use it, but only if it's the same speed, or FASTER than the RAM you have in there already. If it's slower, then just toss it; it's worthless to you. Oh, and it's worth less than $10, if it were new.

Answer 3

its easy, once yo opened your tower, look for the memory slot(s) in your mother board, then, open the "lock" (it's usually white) then carefuly insert your memory in a vacant slot, you cant be wrong, the memory wont fit if your inserting it the wrong way. then finally, lock it with the white hatch, and thats it! your ram is 128mb more than before!

Answer 4

The Question is Will they fit in your computer R they going to help your computer. Most computer only have two at the most three slots So if you already have two 128MB there would be no reason to add another unless you have the Third open slot...

Answer 5

stop

how fast is the memory?

how fast is yours?

the speed of all the memory installed should match, if they do not there will be problems with starting or blue screens. if they match, the memory is keyed and can only be inserted one way. ensure the cards are correctly seated and restart, if the system registers more memory you can check by right clicking my computer then properties

Answer 6

look for the only socket it will fit into, unlock the socket at both side, just press them down, put the ram in they will move up and lock the ram in.
turn on the machine job done.
