How do yo safely instasll new memory?thanks.
Almost correct on the ESD wrist band. however, unless the PC is pluged in then the ground isnot recieving a negitive.
the strap should be attached to a known building ground. and the PC should be unpluged to accomplish this or any task related to removing parts inside the PC.
Make sure you Memory stick is keys in the right direction and if in pairs should be installed in Most PC's as everyother slot.
goodluck

I would like to add to dugie's solution, latex gloves are also a very safe way to install new random access memory

99.99% of the time you can just open the case and pop the memory into the memory slots. I have never run into any issues doing it this way. But if you want to do it "properly", then you should wear an anti-static wristband and attach it to the metal part of the computer case in order to prevent possible damage during installation. See link below for example. This is just the first one I came across when searching google: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Anti-Static-Wristband-F8E093ea/dp/B00012KBUQ
