Memory expand question

[Nicky P]

Would like to expand the memory on this computer. It has 2 GB DDR2 RAM and can expand to 8 GB. I'm somewhat of a novice and would like to know 1) the best way to to this & 2) not looking to break the bank her. Would LOVE a link or two on where to go and what to buy. Thanks in advance!

Would like to add a 1024mb ddr3 GeForce 8400FS graphics card. Will this work with this computer? (small form factor)
