will this REALLY help me run the game better?

I purchased this laptop from an italian friend:

It really lags in the mid to late game and I was considering taking out one of the 256 meg ram chips and throwing in a gig chip. Will that really help me out? The video is shared at 128 megs and my hard drive is not the fastest one ever created. I would appreciate an opinion.
thanks

All I know is, is that adding RAM never hurts. I got 1.5Gb RAM on my laptop, and it is blazingly quick. So I guess if you can afford it - why not?
