Thanks for the quick reply; 2 follow-ups

1) What do you mean "rebuild it"?

2) As I go shopping for additional RAM, I notice there seems to be all sorts of different specifications and letters that come after the number (512, for example)...are they all compatible with DIFFERENT RAM slots that I should know about? For example, mine came with 256 MB DDR / PC2700 (1 DIMM) from the factory...does this indicate just what kind of RAM upgrade I'll need? For example, just browsing the listings at bensbargains.net, I see 3 different entries for RAM upgrades:
a) GeIL 1GB 184-Pin PC 3200 DDR SDRAM - $91
b) GigaRAM 512MB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 - $45
c) Viking VC Value Memory 512 MB PC2700 DDR Memory - $44

I know the MB number is the most important, but is all the tech jargon afterwards important to understand for my purposes? i.e. will some of them be compatible with my computer, and others not?
