I paid for having such an upgrade performed - I was charged for 15 minutes and
the memory stick.
Since laptops generally seem very fragile inside, I thought it was a good
idea... It didn't look to conplicated,
though. If you have one 64M stick, I think you could add a 128M stick to get
192 for just a little more money.

It would be interesting to know, whether adding RAM to such an extent as to go
beyond the size of the
swap partition could cause problems, as might be the case here (and was for
me).
