Yes and no. It will help some, but not really enough to care.
Seriously, your best bet is to back everything up, reformat, and install Windows again. That will be a much larger and much cheaper difference than adding 1.5 gigs of ram to a machine that doesn't need it in any way at all.
Unless you have 10 browser windows open all running different huge flash files, 7 copies of Word, itunes open, and zipping up half your hard drive all at the same time adding that ram isn't going to make that much of a noticeable difference.
Note-- I also wouldn't bother with Linux. It's easier on your system but it's also a pain in the ass. Reformat your computer and then google how to optimize XP.
Hell, I would even do that above Google search before reformatting and seeing if that helps.
