The rain effect is CPU/video intensive, not RAM intensive. RAM is used to load a larger amount of the map and textures, which shouldn't be a problem with 256 meg. I doubt you will see a big increase in performance with 512 meg but it never hurts.

One good thing to do before loading the game, kill all unnecessary applications running in the background. ie. ctrl-alt-del (once) and stop all except EXPLORER and SYSTRAY.
