Question about 'Things that slow down system bootup'

I have a few questions related to correcting my system booting slowly. Literally,
it takes 10-15 minutes for the Windows to become active, so I plan to try the other
things noted in these postings.
After talking with a friend, he suggested I add RAM. I have an HP Compaq NX9010
laptop with 128 MB of RAM with a 2.6 Ghz Celeron processor. I just purchased 512
MB of RAM that I need to install. My questions are these.
1) I have two RAM slots... can I simply install the memory in the available slot,
or do I need to install it in the slot the 128 MB is in and remove the 128 MB?
2) If I simply install it in the existing slot, is the memory additive, so my computer
will now have 640 MB of RAM (128 + 512)?
3) Can I ultimately replace the 128 MB of RAM with another 512 MB of RAM for 1024
MB?
4) Lastly, are there any special precautions or steps I must follow to install this
additional memory?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim
