    Ok got a new laptop,

    THis is the specks> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c01753033

    Ok so i have 4 gigs of ram, and 1.5 shared.. 512mb memory on the card.

    I can upgrade my normal ram to 8 gigs ( yes 64 bit system ) would that help with the games at all.. games like, Sims 3 , run fine on low settings..

    Command and conquer red alert 3 work great on low and some medium settings.. but upgrade from 4 gigs to 8,, ?

    THanks

    More ram probably would help, but the main limitation of that laptop is the crummy video chip; and there isn't much you can do about that. Rather than buying more ram, you could simply cut the video memory down to 512mb; that video chip won't even use that much.

    ahh ok.. yea i know i cant get better graphics,, but atleast make it more smooth, and not so choppy.. thought another 4 gigs would atleast stop the choppyness, even tho the graphics arent the best.
