Add another 256 mb memory card if you have a second slot on the mother board.

IF you have only a single slot, then a new 512 mb memory card will have to replace the present 256 mb card.

Make certain that your PC will allow this memory upgrade - some older machines have a maximum number for how much RAM it can handle.

Look in the back inside your system and you see thin green chips take them out and replace them with the higher chips that you bought and close it back up and your done

Presumably you are talking about replacing (upgrading) system RAM, as its been a long time since 256mb or 2 gb hard drives were common. That being said, replacing the RAM in your computer will have no effect on the data stored on your computer. Long-term storage of user data is done with the hard disk. System RAM is temporary storage only, and is wiped every time the computer is powered down.
