Hmmm, no hardware section...so here goes!

I'm trying to help a friend in Oregon upgrade her PC...I live in Maryland...so I'm doing this over the 'net. She has an eMachine T1120. I know, not exactly my first choice for a PC either...but that's what she has. It's running slow becuz it only has 256 megs of Ram. It has a Intel 810e chipset with a Celeron 1.20Ghz CPU. It currently has a 256 meg PC133 SDRAM memory module. It says that it maxes out at 512 megs...which seems low. But what I can't figure out is if it has 2 memory slots. Am I safe to assume that it has 2 memory slots and that she just needs to buy another 256meg module of SDRAM?

I looked at upgrades for her PC on emachines' website and they only listed a 128meg and 256meg module as an upgrade. So I assume this means she can just add a 2nd stick of 256 and that for some reason, the mobo won't recognize a 512 stick?

In my experience, a machine like that would have 2 slots, and probably has 2x 128MB. Easiest way to findout, send her a pic with 1 slot filled and 2 slots filled. "Does it look like specimen A, or B". Or, you can also have her try to find the original receipt, which should details the number of modules.

Looks like 2 sticks of 256 will work

Thanks for the info guys! Ewww, I didn't even think about the fact that there are probably 2 128 modules in there...I was thinking just 1 256 so she could buy a 2nd...but it probably does have 2 128 modules.
