In practical terms, RAM holds information that can be randomly accessed. The more RAM you have the more information is stored for random access. Another variable to consider is the speed of your RAM, this dictates how fast said information may be accessed.
More RAM is useful for having more programs/processes open at once, so that the information gathering and building up due to multiple simultaneous program use can be readily accessed, rather like a capacitor in a circuit.
I do however stand to be corrected, this is just my interpretation of my experience with RAM.

Information about how adding more motherboard RAM improves virtual memory performances?
Adding more RAM does increase computer speed of the system itself meaning that your computer will not freeze or lag often. The more RAM you have the more your system is able to respond fast. In reality it all depends on your motherboard on how many RAM sticks its able to hold. For example the desktop i am using can hold 4 RAM sticks only and no more. However they are RAM sticks that are 2GB so if you have 4 2GB RAM sticks you will have a total of 8GB of RAM more than enough to carry on normal computer use like internet surfing or watching videos etc. Now if you will be using you computer heavily you can buy more RAM sticks that have more GB.
