I was very surprised recently at the obvious performance increase on extending one of my machines from 256 to 256+512 Mb. Between XP and the integrated graphics, I'd not twigged how little was left for the useful programs.
There's also a likely issue for users who instal lots of applications. I think for the benefit of ease of use, these often automatically start lots of normally unneeded programs, which all hog memory. A tidy up - keep the rarely needed stuff from autostarting - can work wonders.
