Build Computers:
Step 4: Install Memory
To continue to building your own computer, refer to your motherboard manual and determine into which slot Memory should be first installed. Ensure that your Memory type is supported by your Motherboard.
Memory modules come in different types such as 168-pin PC100 and PC133 SDRAM. There are now newer types of Computer Memory modules such as 184-pin PC2100, PC2700 and PC3200 DDR SDRAM which have faster access times.
The PC100 and the PC133 have two notches which makes installation 'fool proof'. The PC2100, PC2700 and PC3200 have one notch so extreme care has to be taken when installing these modules.
Place the Computer Memory modules into the slots with the correct orientation and carefully press the Memory into the slot until it is securely locked in place with the clips.
