Hi George.
It depends on your computer.
If your bottle neck happens to be CPU power then adding ram may not be all that helpful.
For example, if you're running an old pentium 3 with 1gb ram, then it's probably not worth the upgrade, but if you're on a core2duo, then it definitely is.
Yes. But you should upgrade to the max your board and operating system can handle. Windows 32 bit maxes out at 4gb, 64bit at 8gb.
Upgrading from 1gb to 2 will make it faster. upgrading to 4gb will make it FAST.
Of course some of that depends on the type and speed of your CPU. If your running at least a dual core 2, it'll be very quick after the ram upgrade. anything less, faster, but not fast.
I'd recommend, if possible, going for a new computer even. Though the full 4GB of RAM should make a noticeable difference for cheap enough.
