Would more ram dramatically speed up my computer - I currently have 512MB of ram in my laptop and i am finding it too slow. Would buying a 1GB stick and putting it in dramatically speed it up?

YES, 512Mb is insuffice for todays operating systems and programs...

as time progresses Windows and other operating systems and programs get bigger and bigger in size utilizing all the extra memory that comes in computers these days...

the reason your computer gets slow with low amounts of memory is because as you open programs it requires more memory to store them in and thus pages files currently in the memory to disk in order to free up space - the "slowness" you experience is when windows is restoring or paging files to and from the disk - when you have more memory it does not have to do this as much and thus works faster/instantly

you would be best installing 2Gb into your machine - using 2 sticks of 1Gb so you get dual-channel memory (double speed) - ensure you buy the correct memory and the fastest speed your motherboard can support - 1Gb is also not really enough (definitely, if you have Vista or Windows 7) and would just get slower again as time goes on, installing 2Gb will give you some overhead for the future too

Data storage techniques used in computers?

Hard Disk Drive Storage is the most commonly used for high-capacity storage. Flash memory storage in the form of Solid-State Drives are slowly replacing HHDs, however, since they are faster and wear based on data transfer, rather than run time. R.A.M. is also used in every computer for temporary memory since it has a greater read-write speed than these other two kinds of memory. Other storage methods include optical disk drives (CD/DVD drive), "Thumb" (Flash) drives, and the older methods of magnetic disk storage: Floppy Disks and Zip Drives.
