Also, check those plastic latches ... they can break. One of the reasons

I broke my plastic latches. The memory still works. Without the latches
vibration could loosen them so keep an eye on them. Also if you have a
ram fan it will probably put too much stress on the DIMM without
latches. Don't use the fan and take those head sinks off the DIMM.
