In a nutshell, RAM only speeds things up if you were hitting the pagefile. If you are experiencing general system slugishness, you may want to evaluate what's using the CPU and correct it.

I have a six month old desktop PC running Windows XP Home SP2. It came preinstalled with a Intel Pentium D 3.0Ghz processor, with 1GB of RAM. Today, I doubled the RAM to 2GB. There seems to be a slight speed increase when opening some programs, such as MS Word, and viewing pictures My Documents. While other programs like System Information and XP's Help and Support are as slow as ever to load. Is there a good way to test if the new RAM is working? For the record, Windows correctly identifies the new RAM total.
When a program is slow to load, I don't know whether to blame the program itself, the processor, or the RAM.
