(that's "Read The Ferschlugginer Manual"!)
but really, installing memory is about the easiest upgrade in the world. Just don't plug 'em in backward (You shouldn't be able to, but...), make sure they're seated in the slot properly before you boot, and make sure your BIOS recognizes the extra memory before you run it.
I'm a little surprised you don't up it to 2GB, though--is the machine limited to 1GB? 
Memory is so inexpensive these days that it's almost ridiculous not to max it out on most older machines. (Only caveat: if you're running WinXP, it only recognizes about 3.6GB, so loading 4GB is counterproductive)
Good luck w/ your upgrade!
