I haven't run any benchmarks to see the actual difference but it has absolutely no noticable impact on any of my games or applications.
With that much memory you can't really expect to have a noticable difference. We're only freeing up around 50MB of memory, and I have a hard time believe a game can take up 1.5GB of memory space, so you have plenty of memory to go around. Still every little bit helps. The best thing you can do is the upgrade your graphics card.
P.S. Thanks for the tip Rick, I thought there was another way to go about it.
