Does it make sense for me to upgrade my laptop memory?

Ok, so my laptop is a Dell CpiA366 with 128MB ram. WIth the glut of cheap SoDimm modules runnihg around, I was wondering if it was time for an upgrade. Im running WInXP Proand occasionally use Photoshop and other intense apps, but usually, those are reserved for the desktop. The hardware junkie in me says "Of course you need more RAM stupid", but Im wondering if makes sense. All opinions welcome. Pertaining to the laptop that is ;)

Is there likely to be a noticable difference in speed? I know XP can utilizt large amounts of memory more efficiently than past OS's but will it really be a noticable difference?

Yea, with Windows XP, even for regular usage, you should have at least 256MB in total; more would be better if you can afford it. :)

Win XP specs recommend 256 MB and PhotoShop always benefits from more RAM. Get more memory.
