If his machine is as old as I suspect, a RAM upgrade is likely to cost a chunk more than $20.

Check on http://Crucial.com to see what kind of upgrades are compatible with your system, then price shop or it on Newegg, Amazon, Ebay, etc.

Between Crucial and Memoryx, I'd be a bit surprised if Newegg and the like were significantly cheaper.

Memory is pretty cheap, and also the best way to give a computer a speed boost.

It's the first thing I recommend.
The issue is whether it's really cheap.
