"System Resources has nothing to do with the total amount of RAM installed
in your computer.

The following explanation should help you Understand the implications of
adding more memory:

Adding more memory will improve performance if, and only if, the added
memory results in reduced usage of the virtual memory swap file. Therefore
if the swap file is not being used to any significant extent then adding
more memory will not provide a significant improvement.

Use the System Monitor utility that comes with Windows and set it to track
"Memory manager: Swap file in use" for several days of normal to heavy
usage.  If "Swap file in use" regularly shows as 20 mb or more then the swap
file is being used extensively and more memory would result in improved
performance.

This applies regardless of how much or how little RAM is currently installed
in the computer.

Hope this explains the situation."
