As you would expect in such an answer: "It Depends!" On a computer system, if one has one weak area (or a "weak link in the chain") then improving that "weak link" will make a huge difference. For instance, one had a PC with an AMD 5000+ X2 processor with only 512 MB of RAM running windows Vista, then the computer performance would greatly be improved with another 1G or even 512MB of RAM. Most systems which you buy at the store are designed to have balanced "links" in the chains. So overall, memory can improve your speed, but may not necessarily.

Note also that different software demands different resources. Video editing uses a lot of memory, VISTA demands more memory than Windows 98.

Also some video cards rely on system memory rather than its own independent memory. If you are using an Intel GMA950, then it will take advantage of more memory.

If you already have a well balanced system with software that does not harness the memory then adding memory to your system will not help much. If your system is unbalanced in the RAM realm, then memory will make a large difference.
