babygurl its really very easy. Take off the cover of your computer, locate where your ram is seated, find the empty slot right beside it, the stick of memory will only go in one way. look at the pins on the stick and compare the slots now just line it up push it down firmly and pinch the clips on the side in. Thats it. Put the cover back on power up your computer and it will recognize the added memory on its own.

As the above member said it just goes one way.. I just like to add if the 2 chips are not matching speed (the pc133) part it might causes the computer to hang sometimes, if you are just removing the old memory and installing the new you will not have to worry about it..

O'k I don't know about the site you asked for, but its very simple. Just check where your memory card will install. You can match up with the one you are having on your mainboard. And there will be another slot for the new one where you can put the new memory. Match the cut points on the other side memory and press it. Before that the slot has two locks on the side. so you need to unlock it simply by your hand, push it outwards. and press your new card there and the lock should automatically will lock. that its...so simple.
