Does anyone know if going from 1gb to 2gb will impove how sh3 runs in time compression mod?
No.

Once you hit 1GB, having any more won't help SH3 in any significant fashion.

I had the same goal. I ended up upgrading from my Socket A system to a Socket 754 Sempron 64-bit setup. I can now run 4096 TC with the usual jerkiness, but no serious slowdown. (i.e. the clock keeps leaping forward fast enough that it's beneficial and faster to run at 4096, then, say, 2048.)

Someone once suggested this.
