i assume you mean you have 256mb.
another 256mb should be around $30 depending on the type you need.

This depends on the manufacture and model of your computer. The prices are all different.
I recommend that you look this up at this great website. http://www.coastmemory.com
When you look up your computer, you will see how many SLOTS are in your computer, how much RAM came with it and what the MAXIMUM amount of RAM that it will take.
You see, if your computer has 4 slots, then the memory usually has to be set up with IDENTICAL pairs. If you have only two slots, and your computer can take 2GB, you might consider buying two 512MB strips, so you have 1GB of memory. That way, you will simply discard (or SELL) your existing RAM and know that you have IDENTICAL pairs in your computer.
These people are great. If the memory that you get does not work, you can send it back. They will help you to get the memory that works for your computer. I buy all of my memory from these people for my customers.
Good luck

26MB of ram doesn’t exist. I think you mean 256.
Anyway, an extra 256MB, is as low as 20$ (after rebates). You just need to put it in yourself. Your computer may only except amounts in 256 but most computers except any extra amounts. So if you have enough money you could add 512, making a total of
256
+
512
---------
768
99% of Computers have 1-4 slots for ram (most commoly 2)
One of them is taken up by the 256.
If you have another slot you could add another 256 in. (256+256=512)
You could also just replace the 256 with 512.
I don't know the specifices of your computer.

RAM is pretty inexpensive. It costs about 75.00 in New York for 512MBs of RAM

Its so simple 512 - 26 = 486MB and for it's cost multifply it with the cost of 26 with 18.69 and you will get the requirement and in the end your system must be at least PIII ok other wise it may your system got fire on you.

That would depend on the type of RAM you have.
