Ok, I finaly got the memory upgrade i have wanted ..got it installed just a few minutes ago, and its working!
(i think)..

So other than inserting them( which I guess I got right, 'cause the 'puter booted up) is there anything else I need to do when installing memory? anything in the settings or anything?

 

Nope.

Who let you touch a computer...

 

The BOSS does.....

and since I wasn't a Marine, I dont have to use the Fisher-Price one with the big keys and musical notes......

 

I think a trip to the tree line is in order

 

Nah, he's good people... How long you been in... That tree line stuff has been over for a while... good training, tho...

My computer screen had white out all over it the first week I owned it...

 

THE TREELINE!!!!!YEA!!!!!!!!!!!

We goin Snipe huntin?????????



I give the Hat a hard time every now and then, but got nuttin but repsect and luv for teh Corp. ...
three bro's and a BIL all vietnam/korea/wwII era marine vets( one served in all three).....they threatened to hurt me if I joined.....

 

First time I've seem that one!

 

Nah, only been in for 4, however it still happens over here. Ask any Marine, they will take a good beating out back instead of some adverse paperwork, hazing is great training IMO. I was just messing Chrisreyn, a Drill Instructor in the Corps can handle his own business, doesn't need a Corporal to do it for him

 

I have a nephew at Camp Johnson. Working on his second 4 and says he'll probably be a lifer. Damned proud of all you guys and gals.

 

I never touched a recruit the whole time I was on PI...

 

A 'trip to the tree line'? I don't get it... did the Marine forget his way home again and needs you to show him?

chaikwa.

 

Its what they call a "Land Navigation Course".... they put them on one end of an open field and see if they can find the tree....Oh, wait never mind.. .thats Officer Cadet Training...these are NCO's.... they stood the tree up...

 

It's deeper than chaikwa...

 

Okay.. back to my question.. theres nothing else I need to do?

 

Do a right click onto "my computer" and go to properties- this should show you the amount of memory installed.
If it shows what you expect, (like you had 256M and added 512 it should read -- too many for my fingers, wife ain't there to help me ) you are all set.

If not it depends on your computer, but usually you have either not installed the modules correctly-(no added memory shows up) or the bios needs an update (like when installing 512 extra and seeing only 256 extra)

HTH
