Very good idea! 
The more the merrier. Everything will run smoother, applications will launch faster, you can multi-task faster, everything will just be better.

it will give a performance increase and things will run better. Look up some benchmarks on the net to see if its worth the upgrade in your situation.

i think it runs on DDR 333 so chances are you will be looking for DDR 333 SODIMMS.
