If you don't know anything at all about it, I would disconnect the power first, then take the back off your tower. Slip out the memory chip...(It will be a long narrow piece), take it with you to the computer store and ask for another one just like it, then go home and put the first one back in the same slot, then put the new one in the slot next to it.
Screw the cover back on your tower, plug power back in...you should be good to go.

alright first open up the tower and check the motherboard to see how many slots there are for RAM, then after that just make sure that the ram fits without forcing it, if all the slots are full then remove the smallest one and put in the 256.

Just open the computer and insert the stick of memory next to the other .

you need to buy a 265MB ram card open your computer case (with the computer off but plugged in) and find a card similar to the one in your hand and plug it into an adjacent slot.

Since you are asking this, It is safe to assume that you don't know what you're doing. Things like this are best left to professionals and/or people that know what they are doing. You can damage the computer by playing around if you don't know what you are doing.

If you have a spare slot, put another 256Mb stick in. Check that they are matching types.
