i have 512mb on my black mac book, but i have the option of upgrading too 2 gigs...but what will it do for me,  i already search the internet fine, some programs that require alot of processing like word will take a little time to open and lag a little...will it cure that and make things open faster. Cause my friend told me it will just relieve my harddrive from being used from lack of ram.

thanks
