But, once I install 4 GB of RAM, will I actually notice a speed difference and how will the computer behave? 😁

You have to keep in mind that Windows XP (if that's what you're running) won't recognize more than about 3 GB and a little extra. I believe Vista and Windows 7 should be able to handle all 4 GB, but since I'm on Windows XP, that's all I can say for certain.

I was running 2 GB of RAM, and just last week I ordered another 2 GB, but Windows XP only sees 3.12 GB. So right now, I really only have 1 GB more than I did before. Still, I can tell there's a difference. Folders and things like that open up slightly faster—it's not a massive change—but I often leave my computer running overnight, so when I sat down to use it in the morning, everything would feel sluggish. Now, with that extra 1 GB, it's... much less sluggish. It isn't amazing right after a boot-up, but I'm not waiting 2 or 3 minutes for Adobe to launch anymore; it's just a minute :P I noticed a difference going from 2 GB to 3 GB, so I'm pretty sure the jump from 1 GB to 4 GB will be obvious to you too.

This is what it says regarding your motherboard's RAM specs:
2 x DIMM, Max. 4 GB, DDR2 1066(O.C.)/800/667 Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory

So, you have two DDR2 slots with a maximum capacity of 4GB. I guess I'm not exactly an expert on this stuff, so it might be best to wait for someone else to double-check this for you. But if you just want my take on it, you should probably look for:
a single 4GB DDR2 stick (it's crucial to get the right DDR type, otherwise it won't work), up to 1066MHz,
or maybe two 2GB DDR2 sticks, again, nothing higher than 1066MHz.

Whenever you're shopping for memory, you really have to pay attention to the DDR type and the MHz rating.
But again, I'd suggest waiting a bit longer until someone else confirms exactly what you need; I could easily be mistaken about something here.

I mean, if we’re defining a trade as something involving manual skill or hands-on work, then "craft" actually fits pretty well...
And I'm sure some English professor is going to jump in here to correct me... 🙂

Anyway... I just looked up the official English name for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce:

U.S. Chamber of Commerce and Crafts

Thanks to you both. I think I'll go with that. 🙂

Will that cut it? 😉

Google is your friend 😁

Thanks... I'll try Googling it; that's how I found out about Inc... but I also need to include a term for a small business... though "enterprise" or "corporation" sounds much more significant than just a small business setup. :/

Finding the right word for a small business is pretty important to me. I tried using EUdict, and it suggested Trade. But I'm not entirely sure about that one. If anyone could confirm, I'd really appreciate it.

How do you actually say "corporation" versus "sole proprietorship" in English? I tried using "Trade" and "LTD" instead of LLC, but I don't think people really understood what I meant.

Does anyone happen to know? :/

Question: I currently work for a publishing and book editing firm, but I’ve been thinking about launching my own startup doing the exact same thing. I want to make sure I'm not stepping on any legal toes, as I'd really rather avoid any drama or conflict with my current employer. In principle, all the industry knowledge I have—everything from sourcing materials to the specifics of text processing—comes directly from my experience working there. However, I am a bit unsure if they have any legal claim over my business ideas or anything similar to intellectual property.

Also, I assume I won't need any specific credentials to get this off the ground, seeing as the CEO at my current company holds a PhD while I just have a standard bachelor's degree.

Thanks for your time
