make sure u get the correct ram for your computer.
they will have a number, mine is PC2700.. goto new egg and enter your computer type and they will tell ya what ya need.

If your hard drive is full on the laptop that might be the reason it is slow if it wasn't slow before. The ram would be a good upgrade but if you have a full hard drive you should free up some space so that you have at least a few GB free. The computer uses virtual memory sort of like ram it sets aside part of the hard drive for this but if it is full it can't so everything slows down a lot. With that and the ram it should run a lot faster.
