Just bought a stick of 512 MB RAM, got the same attributes as my first one (PC3200, SDRAM, etc.) so I put it in and it doesn't seem like it can go in all the way but I figure I would give it a shot.

For one on startup the message about updating drivers or something says something different, I'll write that down.

But more importantly it doesn't show up. My Computer > Properties shows the same, 512 MB of RAM. But I opened up EVEREST and it showed 512 MB RAM just the same but in the list of memory sticks it lists my new one.

What have I done wrong? I've never installed memory before so do I need to push it in further? (it looked like it couldn't go further, I wanted to be as careful as possible) Do I need to have the sticker near the bottom or what? Thank you.
