I have a Core Duo 2350 laptop with 2 gig and when I use an
almost 2 gig ReadyBoost Drive (its a pretty fast SanDisk) the
difference is noticeable especially as I open multiple programs
and several IE tabs. If you use a lot of RAM hungry programs,
such as PhotoShop or Databases, then you will notice the
difference with the extra RAM. Note if you have a 32 bit
version of Vista you will only be able to use 3.12 Gig total
of the 4. A FAST readyboost drive might be a good alternative.
