In terms of performance does having tons of RAM really affect the PC?

I ask this because I used to have 8GB of DDR3 RAM and now I only have 4GB of DDR2 RAM and there doesn't seem to be a significant difference in performance. The only real difference I've noticed as always is that with more ram you can run more programs and open more windows at the same time.

Is that basically it when it comes to RAM?

It all depends on what you do and how you do it, many people simply do one theing at a time, and 4 GB is fine, others are constantly using multiple apps and switching back and fourth, with a rig today, 8GB is the minimum I recommend as you never know what you might want/or need to do
