The best way to find out is to profile your memory usage right now.
With NT, it's as easy as bringing up Task Manager when your system is doing
what it normally does. Look at the "Performance" tab, and pay attention to
the Physical Memory (K) section. For instance, my system shows total
196148, and available as 117332 right now. Obviously, I have plenty of
extra memory (this is with Windows 2000 Professional, by the way). Your
load will definitely vary depending on what other programs you have loaded.
If your free memory is still pretty high, adding more won't be much help
most of the time.
