Cheers mate. So this will cost me around £40? Hmmm...what about eBay, I dont really want to use ot to buy something like this, but if it means I get the product cheaper then I will.
Actually, im looking on eBay now and im seeing 512MB for £20. But could somebody do me a favor and tell me exactly what I should be looking for because im sure i'll order the wrong thing if I just buy from anywhere.
Is there a certain memory stick I should be looking for? I have £25 right now but I dont think that will be enough...
(Or will it?)
EDIT: I've just opened up my PC so that I know where to put the card and it looks like there are more than one slots. Does this mean I can still keep my 256MB card plus the new 512MB one?
So i'll have a total of about 760MB?

You could run just about all modern games on that rig if you were to up it to 512MB ram, and buy a new graphics card.

The £17.99 DDR RAM from SR should do the trick

Yep, leave in the one you already have and add in the new one in a spare slot. 768mb if were being precise as well :)
