How does adding more RAM to your computer improve your games?
Answer:
Adding Ram increases your computer`s memory capacity. Virtual memory or VRAM is what the computer uses to play video games. VRAM, Flash Memory, etc...etc.. all come from your computers RAM. Therefore, adding Ram increases all forms of computer memory.
Q.How much VRAM should u have on your Video card?
A.You should probably invest in a 32-MB or better graphics card if you want to do any of the following:
Play realistic games
Capture and edit video
Create 3-D graphics
Work in a high-resolution, full-color environment
Design full-color illustrations
ram will make all the info pass through your pc a lot faster and therefor improve games, less lag, help graphics out well not really that depends on ur video card but more ram is usually the first upgrade ppl do and its a dam good one so yes get as much ram as you can
oh, yes, denfiently. But first you need to check how much RAM your motherboard can hold, 512 mb? 1GB? If it can't hold very much don't get a new one just get a new computer.
In general, whether it be your Operating System, a game, a word processor, etc, software loads into memory in order to run. The more memory available, the better, else it will use "swap space" which is using much-slower hard drive space to act as memory.
So, the answer is yes and then no (not usually) to your second question.
Ram upgrade just helps the game play smoother and will not effect the graphics of a game. your video card does the graphics.
Think of it like this.
Hard drive = a closet with all your toys
Programs = your toys
RAM = the size of your playroom
The more RAM, the more amount of toys you can have out in that playroom at once. And the larger your playroom ( RAM) the easier it is for you (your prossessor) to find and play with those toys.
In otherwords, the more RAM the smoother your games will run.
If physical memory is your bottleneck, it will help. If you hear your hard disk spinning a lot while playing a game (or look at your memory usage on your control panel if using Windows), you will be able to tell if you memory is being pegged. A lot of video cards allow you to pre-allocate memory to your video card. I would make sure that if that is an option for you, you have given your video card an adequate amount of memory (this is generally a bios thing in the past, but you might be able to do it from system settings in Windows). Bus speed, CPU speed, other running processes are also big culprits. Make sure you don't have a bunch of unneeded background processes running.
