Laptop Memory for my Toshiba?

I have a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4656 and it has been running pretty slow lately..

I have a intel celeron M processor with only 512 memory.. I know its not a lot..

It is expandable up to 2GB... my question is, do you think it would do a lot to the

computer if I expanded it up to its full potential of 2GB?

I work at Best Buy and can get a big discount off of the memory,

so would this help my computer out a lot?

by the way I did a diagnostic or something like that and the only thing

it said was wrong was the pc memory was reallllly low, something like

19mb...

Thanks

    Toshiba makes great stuff, I should know, I help our small company run the IT dept. I would increase the memory, to the full 2GB max. Crucial.com has it for under $50. So if you can likely get yourself a better deal at BestBuy go for it. If its been a nice laptop, why not invest the money in keeping it? You could even pull off all your data and save it on an external drive, then reinstall the operating system. Geeks reinstall OSs all the time for better performance. No one needs a monster dual or quad processor for running everyday stuff.

    With that kind of a processor, its better to invest your money into a better computer.
