Agreed, of course, but one nice thing about extra ram that it might be pertinent to mention is that it can be used to cache and significantly reduce hard drive I/O once the cache is primed.
I just upgraded my system from 1GB to 2GB of DDR2 so I can get my occasional BF2 fix in Vista, and I honestly have noticed no difference in speed while using Gentoo, which is by far my primary OS. I'm sure a detailed analysis would show at least slight improvement in some cases, but it probably isn't worth the upgrade. That said, 1GB of DDR2 can be had for under ~50USD depending on what speed and latency you desire.
