Yes 2 x 256 should give you 512 but not all motherboards accept all RAM.
Some motherboards have difficulty with double sided or high density RAM.
This means that your 2nd 256M may only get recognised as 128M giving you 384M of RAM.
The other issue that may occur is that if the RAM's SPD are different then when your computer setting the CAS latency etc. that the new RAM may not be able to cope and you will start getting PC failures (BSOD). This can be fixed by switching the RAM around in the slot so forcing slower latency etc setting for both strips of RAM.

256 + 256 = 512.

sure you could do this your self yet you need to be carefull no longer to the contact the gold or silver end that makes contact with the computer you could blow the ram with the electricity interior you, turn the computer off and open the left area of the computer case, the ram unclips by the ends in simple terms push to open and the ram will launch, verify the speed of the ram and make positive the speed matches EG. computer-one hundred or computer 133 ddr ram, look on the bottom of the ram you'll see a slot make positive you line the slot up with the motherboard and set up a ram stick into slot a million and then push down until eventually the ram locks so look and observe the perimeters to make sure if it locked the ram if it did set up the second one ram stick into slot 2 and push down until eventually it locks once that locks into position commence the computer up and it is going to allow you to comprehend on the bios web page how a lot ram you've or you could do it from my computer, upon getting 512 MB of ram you could close the area of the computer and your waiting to pass, wish that helped you it really is immediately ahead once you performed it a pair of times reliable success.

correct,you will have 512mb of sd-ram,and yes i understand your question,unless you are computer savvy these questions are not straight forward as they seem
with ram you should just add the megabytes up as if it were a normal addition sum
i presume you are using quite a old p.c if you are using sd-ram,so make sure you get the correct type of sdram,there are 3 different speeds pc66(66mhz),pc100(100mhz) and the most popular pc133(133mhz)
you will probally find you are using pc133 but if you are using pc100 make sure you get pc100 as a pc133 will not work although a pc66 will as with all ram modules are backwards compatible and not forward
however just to be sure why not go to crucial(http://www.crucial.com/) and run the on-line scanner,this will give you a report on what memory your p.c is running so you can make sure you get the correct module for your system
i hope this helps
good luck

you should go on

check what kind of memory your motherboard supports before ordering anything.

BTW: 256 + 256 = 512.

Yes, so long as you don't have on-board graphic card, which will use up some of the memory.

As long as you have two slots to fit them into, and the motherboard and parts can aknowledge 256mb+. They should though, so enjoy your 512mb!!!
