Adding more ram

[imported_Intolerance]

Would adding another gig of ram really increase performance enough to render the extra cash worth it?
Im using the full gig I currently have on doom 3, and it totally takes it away. Ive got Corsair XMS 3200 with a 64 3500+, and a 6800Ultra. Thanks.

nah, be a waste.

It would be a waste and your performance might actually go down since the memory timings would drop from 1t to 2t with 4dimms and the A64's show a 10-20% drop in performance when that happens

I found that when I played SWG, I needed more Ram because when I ran across the fields and over the hills and stuff, the system would hiccup very annoyingly to load the next map. When I added 512mb more to up it to 1gb it stopped doing it and I was happy.

Make sure you're allocating enough memory to the graphics card. A rule of thumb for the AGP Aperture size is half the amount of your system memory. Also, try out some new graphics card drivers, you can gain a good amount of performance that way too.
