Memory for Windows XP Pro

I am running a Dell 340T Workstation with a 2.53
processor, 1 Gb memory and 36Gb SCSI drive.

Operating system is Windows XP Pro.

I would like to know if an upgrade to 2Gb memory will
enhance the operation of this unit.

Will Windows XP Pro utilize the extra memory or are there
barriers to usage?

Generally, I find the computer unimpressive in response
time for mundane operations, ie Word, Excel, Outlook and
some Accounting software.

1G of Memory is more than enough for the Applications you mention.
Unimpressive Response time maybe caused by
too many programs running in the background, Drive needing Defrag,
Cleanup of Registry and Hard Drive, Services that could be disabled
try www.blackviper.com for info and also certain windows updates.
