depends on what you will be using your computer to do mainly.

heavy gaming and heavy imaging/video editing = yes
regular use, occasional gaming, music, video = no

Judging by your sig, looks like youre a fellow gamer. I say, if you have the cashola, pick up another gig. It definately cant hurt.

as he said, if you game, get 2gb, especially if you have some apps open while you play games. (norton is a big killer)
