Computers & Internet - 31 July 2007

My computer currently have 512MB of RAM. I just bought a 1GB. Why when I install it, I get a black screen when I turn my pc on? It seems like Windows wouldn't boot. But when I take it, Windows boots fine. Is there something wrong? I'm sure that the RAM I just bought is compatible to my PC. Thanks.

I currently don't have Internet Explorer on my PC. I just use Mozilla. Now I downloaded Internet Explorer 7 and when I try to install it it gives an error saying that I already have Internet Explorer installed. But I don't see it anywhere, it doesn't show up on my programs or in the control panel. What shall I do?

I have 2 tables (TableA and TableB). Can you tell me the difference between:
SELECT * From TableA a JOIN TableB b ON a.ID = b.ID WHERE b.Publish = 'Y' and a.ID > 5

and

SELECT * From TableA a JOIN TableB b ON a.ID = b.ID AND b.Publish = 'Y' WHERE a.ID > 5

I moved the b.Publish to be apart of the JOIN ON expression. Does it make a difference and how?

My old DirectX 10 card had 512MB of DDR2 memory. It was far too slow for me. I am returning it for a better one.

I can get one with 256MB of GDDR4 memory.

Or I can get one with 512MB of GDDR3 memory.

Which would be better for playing Civilization IV?

I have windows 95 running in virtual PC, and i dont have a windows 95 install disk, since i took the old hard drive my intel 486 computer and just made a virtual HD copy.
I need to know how to set-up Ethernet in windows 95,with the Intel 21140 (i think its PCI) that virtual PC uses.
