I'm trying to add memory...slid hard drive cover off, slid the card into place, folded clips in- then right clicked on 'my computer'--> properties--> general... to check memory- new memory does not show.
What am I doing wrong?
 
When you push the card in the clips should lock in by themselves...

But just in case they don't try doing it again.. remove them and install them again.... I had this similar problem.... I thought they were all the seated but they weren't.

Are you sure the memory is compatible with your system?? Also do you have to install it in 2's?? Like to modules of 128mg of Ram for a total of 256??
 
Slots
This is the total number of memory upgrade slots (sockets) followed by their configuration. Banks are the way a system addresses memory. A bank must be completely filled with memory modules of the same size and type in order for the system to recognize and address the memory. i.e. :

3 (3 banks of 1) This indicates that there are 3 memory slots. These are divided into 3 banks, and each bank consists of one memory slot. So you can add memory one piece at a time for the system to use.
4 (2 banks of 2) This indicates that there are 4 memory slots. These are divided into 2 banks, and each bank consists of two memory slots. So you must add memory two pieces at a time (they must be the same size and type of memory) in order for the system to benefit from the upgrade.

12 (3 banks of 4) This indicates that there are 12 memory slots. These are divided into 3 banks, and each bank consists of four memory slots. So you must add memory four pieces at a time (and they must be the same size and type of memory) in order for the system to benefit from the upgrade.
 
Bass- you were right- when I pushed them in harder, the clips closed in by themselves.

Still does not show added 128 memory- do I have to restart for it to show up?

Fantom- I had 64 ram, added 128 mb PC 100 sdram- it's a Gateway
 
You should never add memory while your pc is on... static electricity can kill the chip

And yes
