Exactly.

The more memory you have available, the larger cache you get, and the less 
physical usage of disk i/o. Linux benefits a lot from having lots of 
memory. Thus, if you have a file server (an ftp server, for instance), and 
have enough memory, your users will not have to wait till the disk can 
attend their request. A real sample of that was commented not long ago 
here.
