Memory prices are insanely low at the moment (although Inquierer reports prices will drop another 10-15% in first few weeks of march) and I was considering getting another stick of 512 PC3200 corsair xms for $146 at googlegear. My question is will I see any significant performance increase from going from 512 to 1024 mbytes of ram?
 
not unless you run like 7 apps whilst playing games and stuff. if its just say for playing a game as the only open app then no you wont notice any different what so ever, it will just have cost you $146 for a boasting right.

i say yes you would - i did when moving from 512mb to 768mb. only in momory-intensive apps though. i got quite a nice improvement with the games.
