    Will increasing RAM improve performance?

    I'm looking for a laptop for school, and the one I currently have is a Lenovo S10-3 netbook: Atom N450, 1GB DDR2 RAM. It's a bit sluggish, obviously, but after installing a light Linux distro it has actually become usable. So my question is: if I increase the RAM to 2 GB, will performance...

    Portable laptop for school

    Update: Price range of 1000$, no need to look at the bad site I posted. Off the top of your mind, which laptop models fit the needs? Also, I saw a second-hand Macbook Air for 1000 N.I.S. It is the Early 2008 model, and has been upgraded to 4GBs of RAM. The seller lists it as "in very good...
