Step 5: Install Computer Memory
It is now time to install your Cheap Computer Memory (RAM)
To continue to build Your Own Cheap Computer, get 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. These have now become obsolete and are being replaced by 184-pin and 240-pin DDR and DDR2 SDRAM modules which have faster access times.
These newer DDR and DDR2 modules can now be operated in dual-channel configuration which enhances performance. Dual-channel means two idential memory modules being used at the same time.
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. (See Diagram A below).
