What have you done so far?
Do you have any documentation?
Doing a general search on the WEB, it looks like the system will only take 32MB DIMMs.
This is gonna take some seriuos research, good luck.

You can replace 24MB ram with 4 sticks of 32MB SIMM max (128MB)
HDD should be upgraded, and CD-ROM, too (if needed)
