It depends on the system. IIRC, when I upgraded to 4 sysinfo said I had 3 on the dot, but now it says 2.99 and I've read that some see as low as 2.5. Regardless, the RAM was cheap enough and performs so well that I'm perfectly happy with the upgrade. In addition, since it's dual channel memory it's probably working better than just buying 3GB would have worked.
To at least somewhat contribute to answering the OP's question, however, and while I'm probably not nearly as much a techie as many here are, I have to think the answer largely depends on not only your particular system, but the league you're running too. Maybe just test it yourself by timing a simulated year. Even if it does run better on the SSD you might not find it that worthwhile.
