Hello there, first time poster long time viewer of this forum!
So I recently bought 4 Gb of Ram for my laptop, and completely forgot to see the CL timings of it to see if it matched the stock ram that came with the laptop itself. So, the computer won't recognize one of the memory sticks when they are both installed and I can't figure out what is wrong. My questions are (and sorry for the long list of it)
- Is there anyway possible to get both rams working? and if so, is it viable to put them both to work or buy another ram?
- Which of the rams is the fastest?
- What RAM should I keep on the laptop?
RAM (The one I bought):

Edits: Added a few things in. Please tell me if more information is needed.
UPDATE I've taken some photos if its of any use (I'm kinda at a loss here, would really love some feedback :/). Also when inserting the ram I noticed that the 2nd slot doesn't hold the ram, it clicks but it doesn't reach the Ram openings to keep it hold, might this be the problem?
Solved: The problem was the RAM slot was extremely thight and the ram was needed to be pressed way beyond the normal strenght required. Everything is ok.
