... I beg to differ. If said PC has 2Gigs of RAM and you increase it to even 3Gigs it will perform much faster. 4Gigs will be even better. I agree that the older memory may be prohibitively more expensive now. We've gotten extra years of service from 1000s of PCs just by bumping the RAM.

You dont say why you think or know why you need more ram, but it prabably wont solve yyour unknown problem.
If it is for a slow computer which is the usual complaint, it wont help in the least. Old processors donot get faster with more memory.
This is 100% correct. Adding more RAM doesn't magically improve performance of a PC. If you are experiencing times when your computer slows to a crawl with lots of disk activity, that may indicate you need more RAM because the system may be swapping parts of RAM out to disk and back because you don't have enough physical RAM.
Additional RAM will help if you tend to have lots of programs running on your PC at the same time, "multi-tasking".
One other comment. If this computer is old enough, it may be using DDR2 RAM instead of the newer DDR3. DDR2 RAM is significantly more expensive than DDR3 which you should take into consideration because the RAM may cost more than the small potential performance increase is worth.
