How do you add extra memory to laptops?

Hi,

I am looking at buying this cheap laptop, good enough spec for what I want except for the memory. It only has 256mb which 128mb of it is shared with the onboard gfx card. So Ideally I would like to add about 512mb to it really to make sure XP goes along all smooth. Can most laptops be upgraded? If so what sort do you have to buy?

Its a Celeron 380, with DDR2 memory. If an extra 256mb is cheap than I would be happy.

I know it can take up to 1gb extra and DDR2, so do i just buy the same sticks as i would do for a normal pc?

I doubt memory timings will affect it that much when its a celeron 380.

Thanks I have done that, it is an Acer laptop.

mine to... and it turned up today. Amazing service. Took it to work to fit it... only to find all the small screw drivers at work have been mangled. BLOODY KIDS

Did you notice whether the other memory stick in the laptop was also Crucial?
