Hi

I bought some more Ram for a retro P2 333mhz retro PC.

The existing ram is 64mb total, 32mb dimms 168 pin which were existing, lgs gm72v16821ct10k.

I bought a 64mb SDRAM 178 pin and plugged it in, then I noticed the motherboard sockets locks don't fit...
The ram lines up, fits fine but its actually Taller than existing ram so the socket locks dont reach.

The motherboard is a gigabyte GA-686LX3

Here is the thing.. Yet to run anything intense like a game.... But Windows booted with it stuck in and shows now 128meg ram...

Have I done something wrong and got wrong memory?

I'll try get photos on later.

Thanks and merry xmas
Xx
