Snap 2000 Memory Upgrade system Snap Server 2000 OS: 4.0.860 HW 2.0.0 BIOS 2.0.252 HDD's 2x80GB

I have a Snap 2000 20GB 2x 80GB HDD’s, that has issues when I do big transfers to it, I am checking on the possibility of the CPU fan being faulty but;

One poster noted on a 4000 that big transfers can have issues and a memory upgrade would help on the 4000 (it may only help with RAID 5);

Under this thread even though it is about a SNAP 4000 one of the guys says;
“If you use larger drives, you will most likely need to upgrade the memory to 128 MB if it's not already, especially if you load JVM. If you don't, when you try to transfer large amounts of continuous flow data (large files), you will get errors and the transfers can/will fail.”

Another poster intimated that a memory upgrade on a 2000 is not worth it;

This thread has 57 replies, it starts of with a Snap 2000 but ends up discussing a Snap 4000 but in the middle it intimates that it really is not worth upgrading the RAM on a Snap 2000 because the SNAP Operating System does not know how to use the extra RAM?

Is an upgrade of the memory on a SNAP 2000 a worthwhile exercise?
