1) Check if your computer supports 4GB of RAM (from Acer)
2) Check how many DIMM slots total are in your computer:
a) If 4 total, then 2 should be full now; add 2x 1GB DDR2-800 DIMMs for a total of 4, but be sure to get good quality RAM (not OCZ) to minimize the chances of incompatibility. Something like this should be OK: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146118
b) If 2 slots total, you will need to remove your old RAM and replace it with 2x 2GB DDR2-800 DIMMs. Something like this should be OK: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146692

yeah could you tell me if these are ok

It's hard to tell without knowing the brand name and model number, but your post suggests that it requires 1.9V instead of the standard 1.8V, which may cause problems.
