More RAM does not speed things up. However, not enough RAM slows things down enormously. Think of it as a bucket. All good until it fills up, then you've suddenly got piss all over the floor.
The speed your computer actually does stuff is largely dependent on the CPU speed, although if a lot of data is being read from or written to the hard drive, that could become the bottleneck.
Without knowing anything about ArcGIS, it's pretty difficult to say one way or another. I would recommend 8GB as a minimum these days though, it's cheap as chips (sorry) and shouldn't be much more expensive than 4.
