easy...\n\ngo to kingston.com and use their ram wizard...  No guess work.\n\nAnoosh's suggestion just uses the system info in the registry.  It can be inaccurate.

C.L 2.5 is the CAS Latency of the RAM, it is a bit complicated for a novice but if you really wanna know what it is take a read:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAS_Latency\notherwise just know that the lower it is the better.\n\nAs for how much it will take, it will obviously take two, its hard to know how big it will take for sure, but I can say with almost certainty it will take at least 512MB sticks, so you can get two for a total of 1GB.  I would recommend you go to crucial.com and use their memory tool to be sure, or see if you can find your model number and email it to me and I can look it up.\n\nAnyway, assuming all works out and it can take 512 sticks, I would recommend purchasing this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220057\nIt is good quality for a good price.  Just take out your old stick and replace it with these two.  Its speed is higher than yours currently, but that is okay as the RAM will automatically slow itself down to meet your requirements, and if you are lucky and your computer will support it will be able to run at the higher speed.\n\nIf you need any further help, please feel free to email me.

First, download a program called "Belarc Advisor".  It will analyze your computer quickly and give you a report of all the hardware and software installed, and it's free.  In the report, there will be a section called "Memory Modules" that describes your existing memory.  It will also tell you what kind of motherboard you have.  \n\nNext, go to the website mwave.com.  You can find the memory you need there at a great price, and if you still don't know what you need, just call them up and give them the information from Belarc Advisor and they'll help you out.  I've had excellent service consistently from this company since about 1998.\n\nWhen your memory arrives, turn your computer off and look for a slot that has the same size and shape of circuit board as your new memory.  Install your new memory next to it.  Make sure the tabs click fully into place so you'll know it's seated all the way.\n\nThat's it!\n\nDO NOT buy your memory from a retail store like Best Buy or Staples.  They will charge you well over double what you'll pay almost anywhere online.  Also, don't pay anybody more than $45 to install it, it's a super simple task and no tech has any business charging more than the minimum hourly rate for it.

Go to:\n\nwww.kahlon.com\n\nThey have an excellent site for finding out exactly what your computer needs in the way of memory.  They've also got some of the cheapest prices on the net.\n\nYou can find out what you need and then comparison shop at:  \n\nwww.newegg.com\nwww.tigerdirect.com\nwww.ebayexpress.com\n\nI think you'll find that 1GB laptop RAM will run around $100 at some of the cheaper sites.

Increasing memory is always good. If you are running XP I would suggest a minimum of at least 512 mb. If you can afford the 1GB go for it.

The website below has a feature to scan your system and it will tell you exactly what kind of slots you have for both your video card and your RAM.  I've bought RAM from them before, very good service and aftersales.\n\nhttp://www.crucial.com/

Yes, absolutely.  Upgrade as much RAM as you can afford and your motherboard will let you.  RAM is one of those things that is easy to do and you will see immediate improvement.  But be wary, you must get the correct RAM!\n\nYou may want to swing by Crucial.com as they have an awesome RAM chooser (called Crucial Memory Advisor™ Tool) to make sure you are getting the correct RAM for your motherboard.\n\nhttp://www.crucial.com/index.asp

The latest are DDR2 memories equipped with a crucial chipset. They are really fast, but you'll need passive cooling to support them. For mor einformation check this link:
