Upgrading your computer's RAM is almost always useful, but only if your computer and operating system can take advantage of it. Increasing RAM takes some of the load off the hard disk and thus will almost always cause an increase in performance and speed. However, some operating systems cannot make use of more than 3GB of RAM while others, particularly 64-bit OSs can use much more. Verify that your hardware (PC) will accept the additional RAM before deciding.
