New ram into Dell Inspiron B130

I have a dell inspiron B130. I have no idea how to check how much ram it will take. I have two 256mb cards in there now, and want to upgrade to two 1 gig cards, but I'm not sure if my computer would even take advantage of that much ram.

These are the cards I was planning to buy.

Thanks, alot. I just learned how to install ram this morning, so as soon as I have the cash, I'll be upgrading to 2 gigs of ram.
