    Will adding memory improve Web browsing?

Internet browsing speed depends on several factors, including your modem connection speed, traffic on the site you're visiting, and the components in your system. You will probably notice the biggest improvement from additional RAM if you are viewing or working with large files such as photos, digital audio, and video.

• Is it plugged in?
• Is the power strip or surge protector on and power light on?
• Is the case main power switch set to on position? (This is a rocker switch located on the top-back of the main computer case On = 1, Off=0.)
