why do you need to update the memory?

fwor

According to the user manual, you can't increase the memory if you already have 2GB installed.

What problem are you trying to solve?

Yes as stated above you can't add any more ram onto your processor. You could install a new processor but tbh it'll be cheaper to start again!
I'd also like to know what issue you are trying to resolve by adding more ram?

If it's just slow opening web pages (but OK offline), then it's your internet connection or browser settings. If the latter, try another browser (a better one than IE, either Chrome or Firefox).
And do a cleanup with CCleaner.
