any ideas what card to fit ,I am looking to put in at least 256RAM.

Your onboard graphic card should automatically be disabled when you install the new card.

Adding memory ... depends on what your Packard Bell can take.

At thhis site you can scan to find out :

(1) How much memory your motherboard will accept

(2) What type of Memory you need

(3) Will give you an option to buy the memory you need.

Crucial are avery good site, selling memory chips quite cheaply and they have a fast delivery time.
