Benefit of more memory?

[Weezard]

I have a 64bit operating system with 3 gigs of DDR3 memory. Will I see any performance boost in my 32bit apps if I increase the system memory to 6gigs? I don't have any 64bit software at this time. If it doesn't benefit me now, I would prefer to wait and buy the addtional memory when I get more 64bit software.

Thanks
