I installed a stick of Ram 256mb and the computer turns
on and sounds like it's running but XP doesn't boot up is
this a XP proplem ? I only had a 64&128=192 of ram when i
upgraded to XP.

Sounds like a memory stick problem.
is it seated properly?
Is it the right sort of RAM?

your computer may not handle 256mb in one slot. you may have to get another
128mb stick
