Cheers for that... also is it ok to add 1gb to the 512mb? so basically 1gb in 1 slot and the 512mb in the other? or do they have to be the same?

download system info for windows from that link. it'll tell you about all the hardware in your system. it'll also tell you your max capacity for upgrading. also, yes you can add 1gb to 512mb. they dont have to be matched iirc.

Look for DDR400 PC3200. I think it's fairly old now which normally means expensive.

It's unlikely it won't but check your motherboard can address 1GB and it's not a max. of 512mb
