Problem

I have a asus p5b mx motherboard and just bought two 2GB pc2-5300u-555 chips. I don't remember which way the one's I took out were facing and it seems I can click these in either way. Does it matter which way they are facing when I put them in? How do I know?

Fix for: How do I know which way my RAM chips should be facing when I click them in?

Low Risk

There's a notch near the middle (you can see it on the photo below) but slightly offset that matches the slot on the motherboard, to ensure that it only fits one way, Just line it up.
