  No.  Although the resource areas are *in* RAM, they're of fixed
size and will not change when RAM is added (or removed).

  ["Resources" refers to specific kinds of memory objects, such as
windows and fonts.  Applications, and the OS itself, use RAM for lots
of things besides "resources", so the answer above does NOT mean that
increasing RAM was a waste of time -- only that it doesn't affect
this particular aspect of the system.]
