On a 32-bit operating system, the most you can hope to use at one time on your system is 3.25 GB of RAM (without finding some specific work-around hack).
If you had Win 7 64-bit, I'd say go for it, but as is you're not really going to gain any noticable benefit by adding that extra 1GB. Save your money.

So here is my complicated predicament that i was hoping some of you amazing tech experts here on the forums could help me with.
Right now I have a Toshiba laptop with Windows 7 32-bit, it has an ATI Radeon HD 3470 and 3gb of RAM (one 2gb and one 1gb stick).
In a six months I going to start building my own desktop which I priced at a little over $1,300.
I'm really craving an upgrade in speed and i found a 2gb stick to replace the 1g for $40.
So would 1 more gb of RAM be worth $40 dollars or should i just put that money into the fund for my next comp?
