experience has been that you do get a noticeable difference when you upgrade
up to 128MB.  After that, I haven't seen large improvements unless I am
running programs that require the extra memory.

This is because the more memory you have, the less of a chance it will be
that Windows will have to use it's virtual memory (swap file), which is much
slower than physical memory (RAM).  Windows will use the swap file once
there is not enough RAM left to run all the programs. Insuffecient amounts
of RAM leading to heavy use of the swap file not only slows down
performance, but also causes the drive to become fragmented much quicker,
therefore you have to defragment the hard drive more often.
