To give you precise technical terms for a memory upgrade:

1: Flip the Q1 onto its front (ideally put a towel down)

2: Locate and remove the 6 screws (1x per corner, 1x above the stand, 1x underneath the stand)

3: Open the LAN & VGA port protectors

4: DEEP BREATH...pry the rear of the chassis off, it comes off fairly easy tho it can get caught so be careful!

5: You are now presented with the nekkid arse of your Q1, pop the old stick of ram out, and fit a nice 2GB PC 4200 (533mhz) or PC 5300 (667Mhz) stick into the slot.

6: Put it all back together in the reverse of the above

7: Turn it on, and check the BIOS to confirm 2048MB (F2 on the keyboard)

8: If all goes to plan, watch Vista boot and respond a damn sight better! (And give the origami experience a try if you haven't)
