Thank you hazelnut, verry useful

If you've been running Windows XP on that, you should see a good improvement upping to 1Gb (pitty you cant get it up to 2Gb)

Note:
Disk space, is used in terms of hard drive space IE where you keep your documents and programs and Windows installed.
Memory is the ram (the 256mb you are upgrading to 1GB) this helps when running programs and opening files.

If you also need hard disk space you may want to look into getting another hard drive (or external hard drive).

Need anymore help feel free to post Happy hunting Chewie
