Your RAM is installed in the slots as shown below on your motherboard, called the DIMM slots. Check that you have the correct RAM for your system. Check your motherboard manual for the type and amount of RAM it supports. Not having enough memory can absolutely cause your computer to run slow. The more memory, the faster your computer will perform. In most cases, adding more RAM will help speed up your computer than any other upgrade you can make.
