[Hidden-tech] ram upgrade quandary

[Tom Adams ~ Reelife Productions & Folktography]

thanks will. it will be mostly used for email and chatting and doing all
those silly 12 year old girl things that my daughter will be doing on it
plus, her pleasantly surprisingly studious research and inquisitive visits
to science museum websites, etc. as well as the ilife and "work" apps: pages
and numbers, keynote...stuff like that.

will the upgrade to 1gb make it hum alomng a little better?
