Yep. Remove that old memory, insert the new, go into BIOS and adjust the timings accordingly, and you should be all set.

oh okay sweet
yeah and another thing...tomorrow i will be updating my bios as well as some drivers
so i was hoping to contact you somehow in order to adjust the bios settings...when i get my ram in of course..
im not very knowledgeable with the bios and ram timings
so ill need some help setting that up when i get those modules in

ok. i wouldnt update your BIOS unless you have to, it can cause trouble sometimes. Go ahead if you need to though

oh I think i need to lol
i received this computer in 2000 or 2001

it takes me about 4 or 5 tries from cold start to actually get into the main desktop page
its caused by some device driver as well as some other errors

but i figured that it would need a bios update

If your having those problems, you should re-install all major device drivers

tried that...problem is still there?
its very strange
some errors had to deal with the RAM as well
that may be the actual problem....ram?
what does it sound like to you?

Your memory may have errors in it. If that is indeed the problem, your new memory should solve it
