you would benifit a lot more from speed than capacity.

1gb ddr400 wouldnt be much different from 2gb ddr400, most programs/games wont use more than 1gb anyway, so reducing the speed of the memory is going to bottleneck it.


and the freezes are more likely to be your hard drive loading textures, if you have an old one anyway, or it just needs defragging

yeh, i should explain.

not all games load everything at the start, you find with some games they load on the fly as well as the initial load. As you come across new monsters/areas/textures, it will attempt to load them while ingame.

its purely a way to save memory, unless you want a 4gb game loading all into memory at once? :heh:
