This computer requires that memory be installed in pairs. You probably have 2 512k ram modules in there now. Put an additional matching modules in the 2 remaining slots.
crucial.com is a very helpful site for memory compatibility and installation issues.
HI 1008 ,
It is very important to know which branded machine you have ; whether it's Dell , HP etc. I would also require to know the model number and whether you have a Desktop machine or a Notebook.
Anyways , here's a generic guide for your help...

Goodluck :-)
OOPS.... my bad.... I checked it later.... you have a Aspire T180 PC Desktop.
Things You’ll Need:
A small flat-head screwdriver
The correct memory card update for your computer.
Step1
Turn off the computer and remove all cords
Step2
Find memory panel
Turn the computer in a lateral position. locate the panel which allows you to
access the RAM modules(PLEASE NOTE.... INSTALL THE 2ND 1 GB RAM IN THE SAME COLORED SLOT AS THE DEFAULT MEMORY IS INSTALLED),
Step 3
Static electricity can kill computer parts so before touching anything
inside the computer you should ground yourself by touching something
metal such as a lamp or table leg.

Step 4
You may need to push hard as it can take 20 - 30 pounds of
pressure to install.
Once the RAM has been pushed into the slot as far as it goes, gently push it down until the clips click into place
Step5
When the memory panel is secured, flip the computer back up the right way, plug in the power cord and boot it up.
Step6
If the laptop does boot up correctly, click on Start, Control Panel, System and Maintenance, System.
Step 7
On the screen you will see how much ram is installed. It should be the updated amount of ram that you just put in.
Step8
If your computer does not boot up, if you receive an error message or a
series of beeps then your COMPUTER may not have recognized the new
memory. Remove and reinstall the RAM to make sure that they are
securely inserted into the slots.
If
you get a memory mismatch error, follow the prompts and enter your
computers setup. Then select Save and Exit. This isn’t always an error,
a lot of laptops require this to install new RAM.
When you start
the aspire you may get a message prompting you to update your
configuration settings. If you press F1 to continue and save, it will
recognize your new ram.
