We're trying to figure out if additional RAM is worthwhile for a web server. I know that additional RAM has provided a huge benefit for our current SQL server but what impact does it have on a server that will be used primarily for .net web pages?

Run Performance Monitor on the server and monitor memory usage. If you're close to maxing out your memeory alot, that means the server has to do a lot of swapping memory to/from disk, which makes for a huge performance hit. If you're always below 50%, it propbably won't make much difference.
