392584 2005-10-02 06:07:00 It's not just BattleField Vietnam, I just used it as an example. Is it guaranteed that more RAM will solve it? Because I have a friend with only 512megs and he runs games fine, I figured it was becuase he has a sound card and a better processor that he runs so much smoother. As much of this thread as I've followed has given me the following choices (correct me if I'm wrong):

1) More RAM
2) Get a Sound Card
3) New computer becuase Warehouse Dell's are so bad. And yes I agree, they are shocking!

And these are the problems with these options:

1 RAM) Only 2 RAM slots, (not much of a problem) but could be a waste of that 256 stick.

2 Sound Card) Might not solve the problem, cost's a fair bit, might not be worth it on my current pc.

3 New Computer) Really this would solve all problems as long as I bought good parts (and I would now, I've come a long way since I made the decision to purchase that computer. The problem with this is that I have almost no money, and it would be about a year before I could afford a new pc from scratch. Also, I would rather wait til I finished school and got to Uni before I got a new pc, as I would only really need one then. At the moment it's only for recreation.

So what's your advice? To me it looks like more RAM is the best option.

Though as we can see above there is some disagreement.

The proof is in the pudding.
