Installing Memory:\n\n1.      Open the case. You can leave all of the plugs in place and components attached.\n\n2.      Get grounded. Before touching the new memory or anything inside the computer, you need to get grounded. The easiest way to be sure that you are grounded is to use an inexpensive antistatic wrist strap that can be purchased at a local electronics or computer store. If you don’t have a wrist strap, touch the inside of the chassis while the PC is still plugged in; this will ground you. Once you are grounded, unplug the computer from the wall.\n\n3.      Find the place to insert the module. Look for other memory like the memory you have just purchased. You will see empty slots next to the memory that is already in place.\n\n4.      Pick up the memory module by the side edges. Don’t touch the flat surfaces or the contacts along the bottom. Orient the memory to match the memory that is already installed. Insert the memory module in the first empty slot next to the currently installed memory. Different types of memory install slightly differently.\n\na.       DIMMs and most newer types of memory are simply inserted into the slot with a gentle downward pressure. The clips on both sides of the module must snap into place for the module to be properly seated.\n\nb.      SIMMs are a slightly older type of memory found in most computers more than three years old. They are inserted at a 45-degree angle and then rotated to a vertical position. Again, the supporting clips will snap into place.\n\n5.      Replace the cover, plug in the computer, and turn it on. In some computers, you will see the amount of RAM scroll by, confirming that the computer has recognized the new memory. If the memory has not been installed properly, there may be error messages, or the computer may freeze. If anything seems abnormal, remove and reinstall the new memory. Once everything is running properly, you can hold down the ALT key while double-clicking on My Computer to see the System Properties screen which will confirm the amount of memory that your computer thinks is installed.

Every motherboard has a part number, usually next to the serial number.  Copy it down, type it into Google, and it should come up with the specs of your MB including the type of memory required.

Your computer has a type of memory called RAM (random access memory). It is temporary memory that is used when running programs and doing other tasks. The more RAM you have in your computer the faster it will run b/c it has more "working space"\n\nRAM is sold as a stick-like thingy that looks like this:\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/ram.htm \n\nIt comes in different sizes and speeds and configurations.\n\nthat is a memory stick.\n\nhope that helps :)

If your computer has less than 128MB of memory, its likely pretty old.  I'd suggest talking with the Geek Squad at Best Buy - they can help you source the right memory, and then actually install 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.
