I have 2 slots

well now your ashing questions that I don't like to deal with anymore - lol

i used to know all that stuff was networker - but that was back in thew day
and in a couple of years your way behind

run crucial ram scan: http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/index.aspx

see list of compatible ram/max ram

compare compatible ram with ram you purchased already

google to see if machine is compatible with ram increase good keywords include 'your pc model number' 'maximum ram'
in your case the E Machines T3120 has a Max Supported RAM 2 GB

all good so far? continue

go into system bios (when ur PC loads up you press a key (del/ins/f2/etc) to open up bios menu. Bios menu is very dangerous to edit if you don't know what your doing. Check what the bios detected as your current ram. You might be able to again verify the current ram you have here + mb you have here. YOU ARE NOT HERE TO EDIT ANYTHING JUST GATHer INFORMATION ABOUT RAM. It is recommended you do not save changes on exit.

purchase compatible ram with information you have gathered; remember going cheaper increases the likelyhood that you will get faulty ram; of course most sellers will replace faulty ram, but think of the hassle and time wasted

install ram in your PC and ensure you have secured the ram into its slot. It is critical to remove any power source on your pc. Ram must be placed firmly (but not forcefully) in the slot. The plastic clips should snap into the sides of the ram. If you do not know how to do this, please youtube some videos of people installing ram. If you are on a laptop you MUST disconnect the battery in addition to the ac power input. Leaving the battery on will increase the chance of damaging your pc or the ram you just purchased.

open PC and see if bios has now listed your new MB of ram here

if your pc does not load up or screen turns black, but the operation lights are blinking/on this indicates faulty ram that must be removed/replaced.

if your pc turns off by itself after user is in windows this indicates poor system ventelation and could require a fan/power supply upgrade or even an indication that the motherboard does a bad job with power management. If your PC shuts down randomly, you need to keep it turned off until it cools down. Auto shutdown is a failsafe which is designed to keep your PC working when it gets overheated. Compress air your machine to remove dust. Make sure it is in a well ventilated place (not in a box or a closed cabinet). Make sure you are not running too many programs at once.

if all goes well you should be able to start taskmgr, (press ctrl + alt + tab) and see the physical ram available in the performance tab

My guess is you have a bad stick of ram or one of the DIMM slots have been damage. Trying sticking the ram in either slot and see what happens. The slot probably cant be damaged though if your old ram still works in it. Are there any burnt spots on the new stick of ram?

Very good info here. Compatibility could be another issue.

One other thing. Before you buy anything check for reviews online. I usually check newegg and see what other people say about it in terms of price, reliability, performance, etc. The users will tell you if they've received items that were dead on arrival or if they purchased stuff that failed.

Why does Firefox play videos better than Internet explorer?

Sometimes dallascowboys.com, nfl.com, or even my pron just play at a faster speed on firefox.

FF and IE have different versions of Flash. You probably need to upgrade IE's Adobe Flash too. Also its not safe to do pr0n in IE.

For those who have an ATI card with STREAM capabilities (Radeon HD3000 and up I think, but am not exactly sure), you may want to try the preview release of Adobe Flash 10.1 available at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html . This version will offload a lot more of the work to your video card when watching HD flash video. I use Firefox and watched an HD episode on Hulu and my CPU usage dropped from the 50-60% range to 20-30% range.

Note that it is still a preview release so use precaution.
