Corsair - 4GB RAM Better Than 2GB

Company of Heros seemed to be the only game that really had a good increase in performance. That and task switching. But this isn't anything new. If you are running software that is using less that the amount of system memory you have available, increasing memory does very little to performance. Only if you're really close or over your available memory will you see any difference. Plus if you're using 64bit windows and running 32bit apps like most are, you end up using more memory to do the same thing. With 32bit windows, 1GB may be enough. Exact same software on 64bit windows could end up using more than 1GB of memory and therefore you'll see performance problems. I'm assuming these games are all 32bit. I'd be interested in seeing the same tests performed on 32bit windows. Of course a company that sells memory is going to promote that people upgrade to more memory. Although prices as they are, it is a good time for it. They were right about that part.
