Ram is plug and play and you don't usually need to do anything to get it working, does your computer actually recognize the 16gb ram?

Is this what you have? Judging from the specs you should have no problems loading up web pages (trust me i used a Pentium 4 from 2006 with 2gb ram and was fine with everything,) maybe its an internet speed problem? How old is the pc? Is it dust free and defragged?

You won't notice any change of performance with 16ram, no one needs that much unless they are running rendering software or something. Your pc now has more memory to use if it ever requires it and chances are it won't, you could have got 8gb instead and still have enough free memory to spare and it would have saved you money.
