Default Memory

I posted on Bf about a message that I'm sometimes getting "Insuffcient memory Cannot open file" but only got limited information back. It only happens when I'm PP'ing RAW images in DPP not when I'm opening a file.
It has been suggested that I buy more memory but I'm not 100% clear on what i need. Looking at online adds I seem to need to know how many pins I need. Presumably the shop will know that if I tell them the make and model computer?
If I buy memory, am I buying additional memory or am I replacing the memory that's already in the computer. I have 256 mb physical memory which means that at times I drop down to 15 mb of available memory and I assume that's when the problem is occuring. I can certainly afford to buy another 256 mb (assuming it is add-on and not replacement). Would that seem sufficient or do I need to go higher? How tough is it to install? I've changed other components in computers without difficulty but this will be the first ime for memory.Thanks!
