Question [Answered] Installing new memory

Hey

I've been given a memory stick for my PC, and I know I have room for one more in the computer, but I don't know where to start in installing it!

The memory stick is (and I'm reading off the box!)

DDR 400MHz DIMM
512MB

I think!

Help! :huh:

I am happy to be corrected but to my knowledge your motherboard will only take RAM up to 266Mhz.
