That was $1,000's Alfzz, as in a couple thousand or so. 1GB DDR = 1024 (i think that number is exact) kilobytes of ddr ram. I have 512 MB of DDR in my computer, you can buy a stick of 512 DDR (what I have) and add it to your existing ram (if your motherboard supports a stick that big) or you may have to buy a stick of 256 DDR and add it to what you have. If you can open your computer up, and see your moherboard, it should tell you model and such info on it. If you then search online for it and find it, it should tell you full specs and max possible modification. Thus, if it says your motherboard will register a higher size stick than your current one, you can go ahead and buy the max that it will read. ex. If you find the specs and it says your motherboard will handle a total of 1024 MB of ram, then if you have 256, then your options go like this..either replace the 256 with a 1024 stick of DDR ram or add a stick of 512MB DDR to your 256, giving you a total ram of 768MB, I believe thats how it works. I helped my neighbor attempt to upgrade his ram, but he already had his maxed, this his motherboard capacity was 512, and when he tried to add another 512, it only read the total ram as 512, not 1028 as we thought it would.
