Default How do you know that you have a bottelneck?

How do you test for bottlenecks in your system? My brother is using DDR PC3200 Ram with his P4 3.2 800Mhz FBS processor. He constantly complains of slow load times with games like Quake 4 and company of heroes.

Since he has 1 Gig of ram and plays games on medium graphics settings I suggested that he replace his memory with faster one, would that solve his problem? Even better is there a program that can test for bottlenecks and confirm if his memory is slowing him down or not? Thanks in advance!

you can help slow load times by getting a faster hard drive, or better yet, raid0 two of them together.
