Log onto www.crucial.com They will scan your system and determine what memory slots you have, how many are occupied, and what chips are compatible with your system. You can then buy them online from this co or another if you make a note of the specs.
I've been doing this for years with 100% results. Would highly recommend them. (No connection)
I removed the additional EU countries as not needed and formatting was a bit crazy.Shipping Outside Mainland UK
European orders shipped outside the UK are delivered via UPS Express. Delivery to most European locations is within 3 days from dispatch.

I used the function on www.crucial.com to check out what memory can be used in our laptop. It says that we have no available expansion slot though.
Is it possible to remove the memory that is there already and replace it with more memory? Or will we have to make do with what we have already?
Thanks.
Yes, you can normally remove some memory and replace them with higher capacity memory boards.
For example, Dell laptops might come with 2 x 256 MB memory boards (DIMMs probably), totalling 512 MB - you can replace one of these with a 1 GB chip to give you a total of 1.25 GB but you will end up throwing away a 256 MB DIMM (or selling it on eBay). As such, it is not worth buying a smaller capacity memory upgrade as you will be throwing away some of the memory you already have.
Not certain about Dell computers but be careful doing this. Many computer manufacturers strongly recommend that when you have two memory slots that you have the same amount of memory in each slot. Having 1gig in one and 256mb in another may cause system instability.
