Yes. It depends on how much you have already, and what is the size of the working set. The working set is the amount of "most recently used ram". (Amongst processes that are actively using the CPU.) If this amount is less than available ram, you are going to have excessive swap activity, which (using the disk) is very, very, very much slower than ram. If you already have 2gb of ram, then adding 2gb of ram will boost performance somewhat. If you already have only 256mb ram, then adding 2gb of ram will boost performance dramatically.

As long as they're the same type (DDR2, DDR3). The speed of the RAM should either be the same or higher than your original since the computer matches all installed RAM to the lowest speed. e.g. my computer currently has a 2GB 800MHz DDR2 as well as a 1GB 667MHz DDR2. But the RAM is set to 667MHz and isn't utilising the full 800MHz on the 2GB.
