hi,

i was just wonderin if u add more memory to a comp would it increase by a little the FPS?
i kno if u really want 2 increase the FPS you should change your graphics card....

thnks

if you dont have eneugh ram to run your applications then they wont run at full fps like say you had 128mbs of ram or something but if you have 512 adding ram probably wont increase your fps at all

He's right, how much memory do you have right now?

lp41 · 08-18-2005, 08:13 PM

256mb- upgradin it soon to 768mb (addin another 512mb ram)

why not just go for 1024mb ram?

i assume you r running winXP
which uses 128mbs of ram (min) so that would leave you with 128mbs to play your game and run any applications that you are running in the background of windows which everyone does unless you keep your computer squecky clean.. and most games require min 128mbs of ram so you would probably see an improvement but i wouldnt expect alot
