Anyway, there are two rules with RAM:
1. You can never have too much RAM
2. See Rule 1.
You will see a marked improvement in almost every intensive application
by adding that much memory. That is to say, Minesweeper won't be any
faster, but you'll notice that you can run Pshop *and* DWMX *and* some
servers, etc. etc. with greater stability and response time. Even
adding "just" a half-gig will help a lot.
