i have 256 of ram. when playing anygame, say, call of duty, i go into task manager, and it says i have half of my memory left! is this right??? if i got 512 of ram, would it make games proform better??

Yup. The more the better! Expert™

You'd prob want to get a 512mb then run it with ur 256mb instead of buyin another 256mb. RAM is pretty cheap these days... -------------------- Asus P4P800S mb P4 2.4Ghz (800Mhz) 1Gb DDR 400Mhz Ram Geforce FX 5600 128mb

I would recommend buying another 512mb stick of ram, DDR is so cheap at the moment, better gets some while it's still cheap, once DDR 2 comes out and it will be before long then soon enough original DDR prices will go up, look at old SDRAM, it's getting very pricey now and not long ago you buy bags full of it for cheap ________________________ MSI KT8 NEO Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.0ghz 1.0 GB DDR PC3200 2X 160 GB HDD Hightech Excalibur Radeon 9800 Pro Iceq 128mb ( Core 425 MHz and Memory 380 MHz )

Nowadays you need at least a gig of RAM. -Avarik nomoresnsleft3 - AIM

I agree with Avarik, a gig of RAM is minimum these days ________________________ MSI KT8 NEO Athlon 64 3200+ @ 2.0ghz 1.0 GB DDR PC3200 2X 160 GB HDD Hightech Excalibur Radeon 9800 Pro Iceq 128mb ( Core 425 MHz and Memory 380 MHz )

Since ive upgraded to a GB of RAM the only difference ive noticed is that i can run multiple programs better, like PS, flash etc.. I dont think game performance really increased, unless im just used to it now :p -------------------- Asus P4P800S mb P4 2.4Ghz (800Mhz) 1Gb DDR 400Mhz Ram Geforce FX 5600 128mb
