Since you already have a HUGE amount already, you probably will not see that much of a difference. You can always try it out, just to see. I have 512 Meg of PC133 in my home computer, and i love it. It's a great advantage over the 256 i used to have, but remember, i do alot of graphic and video editing her, so i needed it.

It depends alot on which applications and OS you are running. As win 9x is fairly limited in what it actually uses for what it is doing, unless you are using specialized applications that are going to make use of the memory, you probably won't notice that much of a difference. If you are running nt 4.0 or 2000 it will help a lot if you are running close to any sort of thresholds. (also you can do some tweaks to improve caching and such to try to attempt to improve performance.)
