I have a Compaq SR1102BD. I am currently running:

Intel(R)
Celeron(R) CPU 2.53GHz
2.53 GHz, 504 MB or RAM

With Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP2

I had purchased RAM before and it malfunctioned I opened PC and installed clamped both clips and proceeded to start up my PC. The PC started then turned off and continued this, Found out it does this when something isn't connected properly.

Me not knowing much removed the RAM and put it in the other way backwards this burnt it up, So I sent it back and got a refund.

This is the RAM I had purchased.
Newegg.com - Kingston ValueRAM 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 333 (PC 2700) Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

I talked to my uncle and he said it seemed that I did everything right. He also said he ordered his RAM from Memory upgrades, flash media, and usb storage at Crucial.com

They have a application that runs a scan and tells you the exact ram needed. So I ran the scan and I had purchased the correct ram. Now I look to purchase this RAM below and have him install it.
512MB, 184-pin DIMM, DDR PC2700 upgrades for Crucial Scanner Results HP-Compaq Gamila, Giovani, or Neon Motherboards Desktop/PC, CT409922 from Crucial.com

Does anyone see any problems? Or know what I did wrong?
