My desktop PC graphics card expired last week, so I've cannibalised an older PC and swapped the card from that one in to it, with success. Whilst I had the old one apart, I thought I'd use two of the four RAM cards from the old one to boost up the new PC.

The problem I have is that the old cards, whilst the same dimensions as the new ones, don't sit properly in the slots on the new PC. The only difference I can see is that there is a small "knick" on the bottom edge of each card which is in different locations on each type of card. So, have RAM cards changed, or am I just being a div? (As you can probably tell, I'm an enthusiastic amateur, rather than an expert)

You can use a tool like CPU-Z to see what type, capacity and speed of memory you have so know what you need to buy more.
