RAM Upgrade?
I'm running Vista Ultimate 32-Bit on my PC. I currently have 2GB of RAM in the machine. Is it worth it to put in another GB, or would I not experience an increase in performance? Mostly, I play games and work in Photoshop/Illustrator/Dreamweaver.

From my experience a Dual core processor makes a big difference in combination of at least 2GB of RAM. I don't know if you'll see a big improvement in performance with an extra GB or not. I would try ReadyBoost instead.

After 2gigs I doubt you will see much of an improvement.

I've got a 2GB Flash drive in there already as a ReadyBoost Drive, and I do have a dual core processor as well.

I would say that you're all set then. Are you having any performance issues?
