How much memory you need depends on what apps you run, but almost
everyone needs a least 256MB for decent performance. For some
people, for example those who edit large photographic images,
more than 256MB--even much more--can be required for good
performance.
If you are currently using the page file significantly, more
memory will decrease or eliminate that usage, and improve your
performance. Go to
http://billsway.com/notes%5Fpublic/winxp%5Ftweaks/ and download
WinXP-2K_Pagefile.zip and monitor your pagefile usage. That
should give you a good idea of whether more memory can help, and
if so, how much more.
