Which applications do you run? Do you run many apps all at once? Or do you just play light games on that, or facebook while listening to music? If yes, those are just light "stuff" for your RAM. Depends on which game too, but I doubt you play BF4 on that one.

I'd suggest to upgrade to an SSD, if you don't have one. THAT WOULD MAKE A WORLD OF DIFF. ;)

Is this an XP machine? Microsoft will stop supporting XP on April 8, 2014. That's a bit more than 3 months away. I do not suggest upgrading any XP machine at this point.

To answer Your question: RAM is only important when You don't have enough, then Your PC slows to a crawl. 2GB is not enough for 90% of modern PCs. So, REEDO_43 is right, it will help quite a bit. While You are at it, if You are going to keep this PC, I would recommend maxing out Your RAM.

ADIMEISER's answer about a SSD is valid as well. I have an old XP box running a Pentium M processor. Adding a 32GB ($20 on CriagsList) SSD as the swap space made a hug difference. You know that time when You have logged on, but Your system is not responding? It disappeared. Of course, using a SSD as Your boot drive (and swap space) will speed it up more, but that's an expensive proposition as it requires that You buy a SSD at least as large as Your boot drive.
