I have no clue what I have to buy or anything so read and follow along

I have had my computer for about a year and half and its kinda starting to slow down and I have enuf room in my "Local Disk" or C: or whatever but the memory that makes it "run" is kinda slow and slows down my computer is there anyway to buy some and put it in my computer? And how much does it usually cost?

Did you get that? My computer is a Dell if that helps at all!

Well technically that's harddrive space, memory is usually considered RAM but w/e.

Anyways, depending on your computer ram can have different costs. Faster ram will cost you more. Also there are different things you need to look at like the RAM timings, and CAS, overclockers like RAM with low CAS since it means higher overclocks but for the average consumer all you need is CAS 3 ram, it runs a little slower but you won't really notice. Lower CAS will cost you more, you'll want to check whether the installed ram is PC2100, PC2700, PC3200 or PC4000. This program: CPU-Z Is extremely useful in determining such things, it'll also tell you stuff about your Mobo and your cpu and what not. Oh yea, forgot the price, round about $50-$65 for 512mb of pc2700 is a pretty good buy.
