Well, I have to admit that when I tried to install my DIMMs , I only pushed
them in so far and then used the end clips to clip them in.  But when I took
the machine back to the dealer , I noticed that he actually put them in with
1 hand -- whereas when I did it , it seemed to me that 2 hands were needed.

Your explanation sounds good to me --- push harder!!
