1 GB added to your current 512 MB would be a good upgrade. However, if you do a lot of multi-tasking or use Windows Vista, then suggest 2 GB total.

Is this one okay? And is there any thing else I should know when I'm installing it?

Is this for a custom build or something off the shelf (HP, etc.)? If it's off the shelf it's recommended to buy through Crucial because they guarantee it will work. Sometimes off the shelf's won't play nice with generic RAM from Newegg.

There is so little price difference you might as well get the Crucial direct.
