Adding RAM beyond a certain point brings no benefit. Using RAM is
quicker in terms of read / write speeds than using the pagefile. If the
available physical memory is exhausted the machine will use the page
file. If this happens regularly then adding RAM memory will be
beneficial within the limits others have explained. Look at the
performance tab in Task Manager after a testing session. See if the Peak
has exceeded total RAM memory.
