RAM (not Aries)

An academic question as I already have an extra 1 Gb of RAM on order for my ancient (i.e., three-year-old) PC.

But here's the question:

My PC, ASUS motherboard, AMD Athlon 64x2 dual, processor 3800, 2Ghz, has two DIMM slots with only one occupied by 1Gb RAM. I run WIN XP but have quite a lot of software running simultaneously over my broadband WiMax connection, plus local "stuff".

Rarely I get a warning from XP saying "out of memory, creating virtual memory" which as any fule kno means WIN is creating a bit of memory out of the hard drive.

OK, question, possibly silly, but this is PPRuNe: when I've plugged in the second (matching) 1Gb of RAM, other than NOT seeing the warning message out of memory, can I expect to see any other improvements ?
