Just would like to add, cannot use Crucials RAM scanner or whatever it is as my laptop is very "Mainstream" (Can't find a metion of it on the internet :/ )
It is an Amilo L 6820
Made in 2003.

Well, if it was made in 2003 then I think you're right going for 1 Gig. Besides, even if it can take 2 Gig, it wouldn't make much difference performance wise.
Kingston memory is my favourite brand

Cyco, currently have 256mb in and could I just whack in another 512mb and have 768mb would that make a good enough difference?

Yeah, it'll definitely make a difference. XP rarely uses more than 1Gb unless you multi-task lots of huge programs or files so adding 512 should be enough

Well am planning for ubuntu and or opensuse. It is not my main PC just would be nice to have a nippy fella. His 6th birthday soon
I would like to change the celeron to a pentium M and a new Harddrive (2.5" I believe.). Would replace it but it has a brilliant keyboard. Also would like a new battery but I hate the obscurity of this machine. Not like saying yeah it's a dell m1330 it is unheard off around the tineternet. But oh well.

Yeah, you can't upgrade processors in laptops generally. Not unless you're very good with a micro soldering iron and the motherboard + Bios can take it.
Linux will run fine with 768Mb, as paul quite rightly said. It won't be blisteringly fast, but it'll be more than usable
