My computer has 1.30 GHz and 256 of RAM so how much more do I need to buy and will any kind work with my laptop or can I only buy certain brands? Thanks.

Use the Crucial Memory Advisor™ Tool to find out what type you need, and how much your computer will hold. Then you can buy it either from Crucial or NewEgg.

I would say 512mb total is a good amount for a computer that age - 1GB would be better, but I don't think it would be worth it with a 1.3Ghz. You may need to remove some RAM before you install more (only 2 slots available, both may be taken), so keep that in mind.

I would buy as much RAM as I could afford, and that the computer is designed to handle.. I believe any brand would work, but I would strongly recommend talking to someone with more experience than me. A good start would be a local computer retail store, or repair place. Another place would be the website of the manufacturer, and/or any manufacturer authourised outlet.

Decide what type and how much RAM you need FIRST. Simply go to:
http://www.crucial.com/
Use their "Memory Advisor Tool" to identify your PC's RAM by make and model OR by Scanning your PC (Cool!).
Then, buy new RAM from them (or Kensington, Ultra, etc.) or look for COMPATIBLE second-hand RAM on Kijiji.ca, Craig's List or eBay, to name a few.
