If your computer can take only 256MB of memory, then you definitely need a new computer! For this computer that old, it's not worth the money to upgrade since it's so cheap to just get a brand new one.

Yeah, you need the right kind for your motherboard, there are several types out there that won't fit and few the will. It is the trickiest upgrade out there probably to get right if you don't know exactly what you need.
Here is a site that can help you find what you have and what you need.

It depends on the computer. Some computers say you need to install it in pairs. I go to http://www.crucial.com because they have an advisor that tells you exactly what you need.
