    I've just been on crucial.com/uk and the results are HERE.

    I have more questions now. :D Can I install two making it 2gb?

    Yes, you have 2 slots, each can take a maximum of 1GB. But this will cost twice as much and only give you 2GB, as opposed to 1.5GB. Of course you will 'waste' the existing 512MB chip. I'd fit 1GB and see how it goes, it won't cost you any extra to come back later for another 1GB if you want it.

    My new 1gb ram has arrived and will be installing it as soon as I pluck up the courage. :o

    I can unplug the power supply but I cannot remove the battery as it is internal. I can discharge it as best I can but is the anything else I can do?

    What do I need to be aware of? :confused:

    Most if not all laptop batteries are easily removable, often there is a latch holding them in place

    Yes but before you open the back of the laptop. Mine cannot be removed until the laptop is opened.

    Don't understand the problem, what do you mean by opened, where is the battery, which model of laptop

    Look like this, should just be able to slide it out after unlocking
