Is 256mb of DDR Ram enough?

[max 8]

Hello. I just bought a new system 2 weeks ago w/ 256megs of DDR Ram. I have a 1200mhz AMD Athlon cpu, 32meg video card, dvd player and cdr-w drive.
I was thinking of adding another 256megs of DDR ram to my system. I use my system just to backup my playstation/ps2 game (I don't run any other programs when doing this), playing computer games and helping out a PSX Forum on the internet.
Will adding more memory help me or will I just be wasting my money?
I know it won't help speed up download time but just on an overall basis.

256 is enough for what your doing.
The only reason I would up it is if you doing graphics work

Of course, if the price is too good to pass up, the more the merrier

Thanks for the reply Brian.

If you find a cheap place to buy another 256, you might consider disabling virtual memory, which might boost performance.

I would say the current 256mb is plenty. Unless you are doing heavy graphics work, or the kind of development work where you have a bunch of applications open at the same time.
Or if you run WinNT which goes thru more memory than the other OS's.
