Yes my computer is regularly having to access the page file when working on large 16Bit (20"x 16" & 30"x 20") files. and I'm hoping to gain a little speed (not expecting a lot) by adding some extra memory.
I now have 3Gb installed and my system reports having only 2.8Gb, therefore hopefully I can gain at least an additional .5Gb, by adding a fourth 1Gb. Dimm.
At only £15.00 ($30.00) per 1Gb, it's got to be worth a try.
