Here's some more info on my RAM capability: http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Pavilion a509.uk

No. You need DDR desktop memory. That memory you selected is DDR2 notebook memory. You will need something like this:

That link you posted to Crucial's website has links to memory that will work also.

 

Thank you very much, you saved me from wasting my money there!

What about this, have you any idea whether this will provide a decent performance boost for my PC & for gaming as it's the cheapest 512mb RAM there. I only ask because I'm on a tight budget and this is the cheapest I've found.

The shown RAM is NOT compatible for your specs....
It is DDR2 PC2-4200 and is way above your mobo's capabilities!

You need to look for DDR PC3200 compatibles for your system. In order to upgrade from current specs, look to replace the current 256mb modules, with 2 x 512mb modules, effectively giving you a total of 1024mb RAM.

Yes, that RAM will work. Although, you might want to save up some money 'till you can afford to upgrade to at least 1Gb. IMO, it wouldn't be worth it to upgrade from 512Mb to 768Mb.
