Title: System performance question
Post by: Brocster on March 21, 2008, 09:17:09 PM: I know this should be posted on the hardware forum, but I figured I would get quicker, and more, responses here. How important and beneficial would it be for me to go from 768RAM to 2Gig RAM for this game? Would this have a significant impact on performance? I have a 256 MG graphic card as well... I am just considering spending the almost $200 for basic memory, and would appreciate your feedback if you think or know this would be worth it.

Thanks!

Yeah, what the heck! that is steep. Is it Rambus? Sounds like Dell. If not visit, visit Newegg.com or Mwave.com. Oh yeah, bigtime performance increase.

BTW, they anwser quite fast in the Hardware and Software forum. In fact they live for it. Frankly it's my favorite forum.

Another thought, if it is rambus and if it is that old of a Dell, get a new computer.

I suspect 2G is just about the minimum anymore for virtually anything.
