As you look at the slots on your motherboard (picture below), notice that there are notches that prevent you from installing the RAM backwards or upside down. The gold plated edge of the RAM is the part that will be going into the slot itself.

SDRAM SlotTo determine which slots the memory will go into, please consult your motherboard manual. Each motherboard may be different as to how many slots need to be taken, and in which order.

Once you establish which slots need to be filled up and in what sequence, it's just a matter of popping the memory into place.

DDRAMThose white tabs at the ends of each slot will need to be opened away from the slot itself. Those are what hold the memory into place. Once those are opened, just determine which way the RAM should fit in there, making sure the notches on the gold plated side match up with the notches in the RAM slot. Then firmly press down until those white tabs pop back in towards the slot, locking the RAM into place. Don't be afraid to use a little pressure, but make sure everything is lined up correctly before you do.
