2. Where's the RAM?
Turn off your PC and unplug the AC power. In Pentium II and III systems, the DIMM sockets are situated just in front of the processor, toward the front of the motherboard as you face the PC (see below, top photograph). Intel's ATX system-board specification states only that the memory slots be placed to the right of the seventh expansion slot. Adjacent to the sockets, you should find labels on the motherboard indicating the sockets' numbers. Insert DIMMs in the lowest-numbered empty sockets first.
