No, keep the RAM. Ram good!
However, RAM was not your "bottleneck" for most things you are doing, so you may not see any increase in speed. It will let you run more things at once, faster though.
If you have a limited budget, you may want to trade the ram and your video card in for something spanky like a Voodoo 5 or a GeForce 2 Ultra that would give you a nice boost in games.

A pig is a pal, who'll boost your morale, Though mountains may topple and tilt.
When they've blackballed, bamboozled, and burned you, When they've turned on you, Tory and Whig,
Though you may be thrown over by Tabby and Rover, You'll never go wrong with a pig, a pig,
You'll never go wrong with a pig!" -- Thomas Pynchon, "Gravity's Rainbow"
