Bill Slow start up can be a lot of things, but I don't think it is RAM.
Low RAM would cause slow start up but it was also make the whole machine slow. I think you said you were running Leopard, but I don't remember how much RAM you had. I have 768MB of RAM in Leopard and it isn't slow to start up or use. I would suggest, repair disk permissions and check your start up items. Make sure you have plenty of free space on your drive too.

Plus, we are really pretty light users at our house for the most part: no film or video, very very little with photos or audio or downloads of any kind, the vast majority of use being the internet basics and pretty basic document/spreadsheet-type stuff.
