How can i tell? Thanks i really hope this made sense? lol
EDIT: This might help explain a little better i bought a 256 stick of ram. ANd it has three slots on the bottom of it. The remaing 2 that cam with ym computer have two slots but with my computer i have the 5 Two of them being or having 3 slots and the other 2 have two slots?

If your system is like mine, where I have two of each kind of slot (the one with three sections is SD RAM and the one with two is DDR RAM), you can use one or the other type, but not both, so it's probably not seeing the "3-slot" SDRAM because you've already got some (very likely faster) "2-slot" DDR RAM.
Again, your system may be able to use both, but I can't say as I've ever heard of that before.
