Hi First you need to know which kind of RAM your computer uses. Newer ones use DDR or DDR2. These have 184 and 240 contacts and a slot so they only go in one way. The next thing is speed. There are a few different speeds but PC3200 is a good start. Next is size. 512MB to 1GB is a good start as well. Cost is based on speed and size but 1GB is around $100 (US) or so. Putting it in is easy but you may want a friend to help the first time. Good luck!
Edit: http://www.crucial.com/ has a scanner that will advise you on what you need.

This page includes some good tips and a tool to find out what kind of RAM you should get: http://www.cyberwalker.com/article.php?id=41
Use the tool to find out what kind you need, then go to http://www.newegg.com/ , which has good prices (prices depend on how much you want, and the type of RAM) and excellent service. If you buy RAM online, buy it there.
Also, there's a good guide to physically installing RAM here: http://www.helpwithpcs.com/upgrading/installing_dimm_memory_ram.htm
good luck!

You go to the computer store and buy it. Open the case and pop it in. Cost depends on the type of ram. If you are this computer stupid, call a friend that knows or geek squad.

First off, you need to find out what kind your computer needs and how much memory it can hold. I would suggest you take your computer to a computer technician if you don't know how to change out hardware.
Memory prices range. You can look for them at:
