With my own experience... I dont think you will gain anything from getting more ram...
Ive had 1gb & 2gb in my computer.... And it didnt make a slight bit of diference. If you like running alot of programs at the same time.. Then perhaps it will, but otherwise It wouldnt make much diference at all.

you will only increase performance if you need that much ram

If you do extreme multi-tasking, or play very demanding games, you
might see a difference. If you don't do the previously mentioned, you probably won't tell a diffference at all.
I recently installed another gig of PC3200, taking me to 2g. I can't tell the difference for the most part. The reward definetely wasn't worth what I spent for the ram modules
