I just purchased a memory card that the guy at the store
told me was compatible with my computer .. i installed it
and am wondering how can i tell if it is actually working
and being recognized by my computer????

Right click on your "My Computer" Icon.
The amount of RAM installed will be shown

total 512??? i wish i knew how to tell if it were
working? should the 256 change to 512???

As far as I know that is correct,
As your machine boots you may be able to see a memory count being done, this
should confirm how much RAM you have.

You could download AIDA 32 from
http://www.aida32.hu/aida-download.php?bit=32

This will tell you what memory you have where, and a lot more info.
