hey guys i was wondering how much fps wud u improve if u went from 512 ram to 1 gb?

It really all depends on the graphics card and what speed of ram you have. When you play a game or something like that, you are sending information from the memory to the video card to be processed and displayed. So if you could post what kind of memory you have and what graphics card you have, I could probably help you out better.

I wouldn't expect a substantial increase by any means. That way if you do then it'll be cool, opposed to expecting a lot of FPS gain and seeing nothing.

I'd say no more than 5Fps, 512mb is enough to handle the games as it is. Going from 256mb to 512mb has a drastic improvement but 512x2 isn't really so.

The games do load faster, but like I said I wouldn't expect a huge increase although some increase in smoothness will be there

I agree with Nubius, sorry it took so long to respond. I had to clean my room! LOL You have a good graphics card, what kind of monitor do you have? Are you just not satisfied with the looks of it?
