More RAM

[SnowWhite]

Yes, you will see some gains.  RAM is used for everything including the 
system -and OSX loves RAM.  I had 448 meg and boosted it to 1.5 gig - 
AWESOME performance boost for every app but the system was the greatest 
benificiary.  I never thought OSX would perk up like that but launches, 
closes, restarts, shutdowns, downloads -everything got faster.  That 
said Mel has a point -your milage may vary - depending on your use and 
expectations. I did not expect much, so I got allot.
