In terms of memory, upgrading to a complete 2 gigs from 1.5 gigs would not make a significant difference.
But with 1.5 gigs, depending on how you have implemented it, you MAY have disabled dual channel operation, thus cutting your memory speed in half. In that regard, going to 2 gigs might restore dual channel operation.
[If your 1.5 gigs is 1GB + 512GB, you likely have an issue; if your 1.5GB is 2x512 + 2x256, PROPERLY INSTALLED IN THE CORRECT SOCKETS, then 1.5GB could still be dual channel.]

Hello,.
I have a Dimension XPS 410 with the following specs:

1536MB RAM
Phillips 16X DVD-ROM

Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card
SATA Western Digital 160Gig 10,000 RPM
SATA Maxtor 250 Gig 16mb cache
SATA Western Digital 36 gig 10,000 RPM
I've also upgraded to Windows Vista Home Edition. I've read that Vista runs best on 2048MB of RAM. Would upgrading to a complete 2Gig make a noticeable difference in performance. Most of my usage is keeping several windows open at the same time, Web Browser, Mediaplayer, Outlook or Windows Mail, uTorrent, Firefox (with several tabs open at the same time.)
