Hi,
I was looking to upgrade my RAM. I talked to a computer technician and he showed me that my RAM type is DDR 333. So I ordered 2gb of DDR 333 from ebay. When the RAM came I looked at it and it said DDR SDRAM. I installed it in my computer and nothing happened. When I check my RAM Windows doesn't recognize it. I tried taking out the other RAM and just putting in the SDRAM and my computer will start but for some reason my monitor won't turn on so I can't see anything, so I guess I don't know if the computer started. Also, someone told me that if I hear 1 beep there is no RAM and if I hear 2 beeps it means the RAM is not compatible. There was no beeps at all when I did this. Right not I have the DDR 333 and the DDR SDRAM in my computer. Windows says I still only have 512mb of RAM but my computer does seem faster. Anyways, any help will be appreciated.

Any speed increase is probably just in your head. The RAM sounds like it is not compatible with your PC. Usually RAM is plug-and-play. You need to return the RAM and make sure you get the right DDR RAM for your PC.
