First identify your motherboard to determine the type and maximum memory per slot for your motherboard, I usually use the free memory configuration scanner on some memory manufacturer's websites. Sometimes I use a free program from http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php or http://majorgeeks.com/AIDA32_-_Personal_System_Information_d181.html

Determine your memory category, examples are: SDRAM (PC100,133) or DDR (PC 2700,3200) or DDR2 (PC 5300,6400).

Detemine if the memory in ECC or NON ECC.

Determine the LATENCY of the memory CL2 is faster than CL3, see if these can be mixed or not on your system.

Always transport memory in a antistatic bag and use a anti static wrist band when installing. Ground yourself on the chassis before installing if a wrist band is unavailable.
