Yes, while you may be able to get by with less than a gig of RAM, adding 
more will make a big difference in anything that has a lot of disk 
activity because of the way it is use for filesystem buffering.  If the 
motherboard can take it, I'd add more.  This is a problem for some older 
systems, though.  Intel made a lot of 'desktop' motherboards that could 
only see 512k.
