check by opening task manager when you have open a "typical" set of
applications, and clicking on the Performance tab, and then the "Memory"
entry on the left. Look at the "Committed" amount at the bottom of the
window. If that is less than the physical ram, then there will be no
particular gain in having more.


I am no expert but I don't think that's how Windows manages memory. If
you put more RAM in then the same system will use more RAM, and work
better. At least that's how Windows used to be before I lost interest in it.
