System Ram boosting 3D Apps?
OK, I had 1 gig of ram on my desktop and Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst had terrible slowdwn on The Episode 2 Space Ship boss and I decided to add another 512 Megs of ram on my PC and now there is no slowdown, now I have 1.5 Gig of ram is, it possible that more ram on my computer increased the performance?? And if so why did it happen?

I think it's depending whether or not your system ram has been a bottleneck or not. When the game simply doesn't require any more ram you may only benefit from getting faster ram.

Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst might of required 1G of RAM to play, but since ur using an onBoard video, about 64MB or more went to it resulting you to have less than a gig of RAM. Therefore, when you add another 512MB you now fully hve 1G and more RAM to play.

He's got an X700pro videocard, not onboard. And I doubt PSO Blueburst requires a gig of ram, what year is the game from?

speaking of RAM I really need to get some more RAM for my computer since I just upgraded it. But with CPU price dropping soon, maybe the motherboards will drop too, and the RAM also? A possibilty?
