More RAM is always a good thing.
It's gotten to the point at work, that I am recommending we order all our
new PC's
with 1GB of RAM. 512MB just isn't cutting it anymore.
I've ordered more RAM in the last few months than you can shake a stick at.

With a user base of 1500 people and probably 2500 PC's in the building,
adding RAM to all of those computers is not on my list of things I'm looking
forward to...
