Laptop DDR RAM Wanted + Laptop Specs Q

I'm looking to beef up the RAM in the ACER laptop
that my lady uses mainly for work. It runs XP with
2 x 256 RAM sticks in the sockets. As I use it when
away from home, I find that 512 is a bit limiting when
working with graphics files.

Replacing 1 x 256 with a 512 stick, or better yet, re-
placing both 256 sticks with 512 seems like a good
start.

CPUZ reports the RAM as DDR PC 2700 166Hz
( have a serial number, if that helps.)

Would the RAM sticks in that HP of mine that you
still have, do the job? I recall they're Kingston, and
perhaps both 512?


General Laptop Specs Question
My daughter's having a vocational change. One in
which a laptop with graphics grunt is almost essential.
Lots of pic files to scroll through, as I understand it.

What does she need to look for in laptop specs, that
makes graphics crunching fast and easy? Is it as simple
as lots of RAM? Is there a laptop equivalent of a graphics
accelerator card with on-board RAM? Where has lap-
top technology got us to with such stuff, nowadays?
