Well, assuming that your motherboard can handle 768MB of RAM, then it should run more smoothly. If not, then it will run great for a while and then start to smell funny as it burns itself up. :P
There are a couple of things to remember whenever you are thinking about adding RAM: 1) how much RAM does my motherboard's manufacturer say that it can handle and, 2) what is the EXACT right kind of RAM for my motherboard? Try sticking PC2100 RAM into a PC3100 RAM motherboard and it's gonna be a party at your place with all the cool sounds your system is gonna make. :D
When you are ready to buy a new system, go to www.stupidcheapcomputers.net. I buy all of my stuff from them.
I bought a complete, new system from them with a warranty for LESS than it would cost me to build it myself or order a custom one from the manufacturer. You can use my frequent buyer code: ATX926. That will get an additional 10% discount at checkout.
I have NEVER had any problems with anything that they have sold me and their customer service is outstanding. Those guys blow my mind.
Good luck!

Depends on your computer.
With computers up to the processor speeds they are and with the basic software running in such need of memory,.. odds are you won't notice a difference.
I have my computer at that and all it did was stop some programs from makeing the "Low Memory" message come up. But with you maybe that would be enough to cover all the programs you'll be running (not all at once of course).

You might be better off going for a processor upgrade, but if you are going to upgrade I would suggest going to 2 gigs of ram if your mboard will handle that, otherwise go to max which is probably 1 gig if you can not do 2 gig or 4.

More speed. The RAM hungry applications will now be satisfied a little. And possibly faster boot up times, and snappy response from applications.

that is going to relies upon on what applications you're operating. including 2 GB further RAM will make a significant distinction with heavy applications. you may want to verify your motherboard specs, will it suppport 4 GB RAM? particularly of utilising 4 GB(a million*4,a million GB) RAM, i imagine you should apply unmarried 2GB DDR2 (667 MHz or larger) RAM.

that really depends on whether you really needed it or not, or if you need more than just a 256mb upgrade. one thing you can do is goto your task manager (ctrl+alt+del), click the performance tab. check your PF Usage with usual software running. if it remains under your total memory amount, then you're probably ok.

Probably a little bit more speed and more stabability when there are a lot of windows open at once. Like things won't freeze as often and you can do multiple things at once.

Speed will be a little faster. Another thing you can do is delete all unwanted files using system tools. It will also increase speed.

if its not the same brand and laitency it may become unstable and its always better to use identical memory modules to have the most stability

You will be able to handle opening more programs on your computer.
