Yes, of course.

I have 4 GB (3.4 GB used by Windows XP 32-bit) of RAM and nothing
yet that would use all of it. I always keep an eye on things like
CPU, disk, and Internet usage (and system/video RAM usage as
needed). Keeping an eye on system resource use can provide upgrade
information and help avoid common problems. Anyone who wants to
know whether they have enough RAM/whatever should just measure it.
