Yes, she would need more memory. In fact, depending on the age/model 
of the iMac, it might not be able to run Leopard. But if you download 
MacTracker at 
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10816> you can at 
least find out the RAM it can hold and other details about the 
computer.

Apple says the minimum requirements are:

Minimum System Requirements
	*	* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC 
G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
	*	* 512MB of physical RAM
	*	* DVD drive for installation

So, what is the speed of her iMac? She appears to have exactly the 
minimum requirements for RAM already.
