I'm really into World of Warcraft right now, but one thing that really makes me mad is the lag in popular areas. I have 512 MB and I hear if you have atleast one gig, you wont get as much lag. I THINK I heared somewhere that mixing ram sizes is a bad idea.. but my friend told me he has two diffremt RAM sizes. So my question is: I have two 64 MB ram sticks from my old computer, would it be a bad idea to put them in my new PC with 512 MB to decrease the lag?

What about your other system specs? 512MB is adequate for most games, but what CPU are you running & what video card? Usually, the lag is caused by a weak video card. It's also possible that you have way too many programs loading into memory at startup Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8 x 210MHz 768MB PC3200 Asus A9550 128MB/128-bit Gamer Edition WinME/WinXP Pro

I'm pretty sure it's the ram, because people tell who've had 512MB of ram or less, they lag badly, but when they upgrade to 1gb+, they get hardly no lag.. My video card is fairly new, and it's nVidia, and I have nothing running at startup.

well what is it? 5xxx? 6xxx? we need modle #s if you want us to be able to help you at full strengnth. it may just by your internet connection. are you on dial-up, dsl, cable? and could we have all of your specs while you're at it? p4 at 3330mhz 512mb pc3200 dual channel 80gb wd hdd/40gb maxtor when on linux 8x agp geforce 6200 Audigy 2 ZS dvd and cd burner "im just a kid" and 15 at that

while where on the suject so i dont have to make a new thread i want to get 1gb of ram i only havd 256 right now can anyone give me a link to a affordable 1gb of ram?

A weak card will give weak performance. And yes, you do have programs loading at startup...everyone does! How many icons do you have next to the clock on the toolbar? Everyone of them is a program that's loaded into memory! Try hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del...when the Task Manager comes up, click on the Processes Tab...then click on the column heading User Name...that will rearrange the processes so all attached to you username will come to the top. You only need 2 of them...EXPLORE.exe & TASKMGR.exe...how many are listed? Asus A7N8X-X 1800+ @ 8 x 210MHz 768MB PC3200 Asus A9550 128MB/128-bit Gamer Edition WinME/WinXP Pro

I'm using Cable, my Graphics card is a nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X with 64 MB of ram, AMD Athlon XP 2800+, 2.1GHz processer with 512 MB of Ram.. I'm not sure where to find the serial number you asked about. I use to play Final Fantasy XI and I recieved almost no lag, and FFXI has higher system requirements. And as I said, one of my friends who had 512 MB like I do use to have the same lag, and the other day he said he upgraded to 1 gig of ram and said he had no lag at all.
