up the max the little micro-atx motherboard will take from newegg: 2 x 1gb.

That should help a ton.
It will. You will be shocked how much better the whole thing will perform on 2GB. I'm running 34 users (total mailstore about 4GB, roughly 600 messages/day) on a 1.4GHz Pentium III with 2GB and it never breaks a sweat. Same machine really lugged with only 512MB even when I was the only test user.
