Purchased SDRAM DIMM PC 133 256MB to add to pc so I can install window XP. After inserting the card and hooking pc back up and turning on screen is black with a message. Tab for message and F1 for changing system settings. I hit F1...NOTHING! TAB, No a single thing. I turned it off and while rebooting it I was hitting F1 and is said preparing for setup and never did another thing. I have even took out card and put in the other slot...same thing. When I remove the card..Window ME (which i hate) starts right up like nothing. What can I do?

You didnt buy a compatible chip or its bad! Read your mobo manual! If you dont have it, download it from the pc manufacturers website

Try F2, and if that doesn't work, try F12. Should be done as the pc first is booting, before it tries to load ME.
