[comp.sys.ibm.pc] How can I add memory??

  I recently purchased an old IBM PC original from a friend.  It currently has
only 512K of memory, which he said cost about $200 for purchase & installation.
What is the name of the item which adds memory to the system? (i.e. what do I
look for in a catalog?)  I would like to upgrade to 1-3 megs of memory, but 
how much will this cost??  And how do I install the memory myself (if it is 
not too difficult)--I have worked with memory and card installations on ps/2's
before, but I don't have any experience with pc's.  Also, any sources of cheap 
RAM (catalogs, dealers, etc.) will be appreciated.  Thanks!
