Depends if you are running a 64bit version of xp or vista. If so then yes it will give you a good performance boost. Especialy in 64 bit vista as that just loves extra memory.
As said above. not so much needed now, but the games that are being lined up for this year look like they would gain quite nicely.

more than likely the graphics drivers used for vista, currently xp is generally better for gaming as the drivers are better. This will eventually change hopefully
