Thanks guys. yesterday, I went to Sogo Computers for the RAM upgrade. Mine is 400 Mhz DDR1 RAM and current price for 1 GB stick is 1950 + 4% VAT.
So finally ended up getting the I GB RAM and it now lives happily with the existing 256 MB RAM. System speed has increased considerably and now, I feel I can use it more often.
Thanks guys for all the help.

How?

The system supports uptil 2 GB and has 2 slots like i said before.

DDR1 is frightfully costly in this age and time.

well, I think I made confusing posts. My PC could support 2 GB RAM ( 1GB * 2 sticks as it has 2 slots)

But due to the high price, I settled for 1 GB ( bought 1 GB stick and put it in the empty slot next to the existing 256 MB RAM)

WIth this itself, I could see significant improvement in performance.
