It will speed up, especially on start-up.Go to www.crucial.com and it will scan your computer to see how much RAM you have, what type and speed.Also tells how much RAM your computer can run.

it would make your computer go a LOT faster
you can run multiple programs without your computer freezing up (512 MB of RAM is reccommended for multi-tasking)
also some programs and OS systems require a certain amout of RAM (Windows Vista requires 512 MB)
some games that have lots of graphics (e.x.: Rome Total War) you want as much RAM as you can get
if you are buying a new computer buy one that has at least 512 MB-1GB
technology only gets better and the years go by... so hey... good with the best
more new technology means faster computers; faster computers means more RAM
if you have a 384 MB or 256 MB RAM computer now, it is not worth to replace it (1 GB RAM stick cost around $40)
just buy a new computer with fresh motherboard, more RAM, better capabitiles, and more hard drive space (at least 40 GB for a laptop is what i would reccommend)
good luck :)

when you have low ram the computer compensates by using space on your hard drive for that. this takes space that could be used by other tasks and slows your programs way down.
if you have lots of ram every program seems to have wings and go really fast.

You can run programs faster, but if you're using a PC besides the laptop, I don't think you'd need to upgrade it, The PC would be enough...

adding memory will speed up your computer. With more memory the computer doesn't have to go to the hard drive (Much slower) as often.
