Right now I have 3GB of PC-5300 RAM, 5-5-5-15.

I'm looking to upgrade to 4GB of PC-6400 RAM, 4-4-4-15.

In a dual channel mobo, with 32-bit Vista, am I looking at that much of a performance increase? I'm looking at buying 2 of the sets in the second link. On sale for $20, might have a friend buy the other one for me. And considering I bought 1GB of 5300 for $30 at the office store, I could sell 3GB for at least $40 and get my money's worth?
Money aside, would this upgrade be worth the effort? I will probably only be able to use the extra 250MB, but the RAM is faster.
