Difficulty: Not opening my computer unless absolutely necessary.

I'll tell you what I do know.

My laptop is an HP Pavilion zv5200.
It features and Athalon 64 3700+

According to HP help and support, I have 1 gig of ram installed in the first slot.

I have 4 slots giving me the possibility of 4 gigs of ram. The hold back is, while I'm not as proficient with computers as some of you guys, I do know Ram is not a mix and match situation.

I also know that more ram is usually better. What kind of performance would I gain by upping to 2-4 gigs of ram over my 1? Minor difference, major differences?

Thanks.
