hi there guys,

sometimes when i play NFSU its sometimes abit laggy and im thinking maybe its because im running vista on only 2gb or maybe ive got a nvidia 7600 if that is the case im going to buy extra 2gb of ram and a 4850?!? or do you think its only one of the scenario's

That should be enough RAM, it is probably the GFX card.

Are you running 64bit OS, otherwise the extra RAM is useless.

Games are GFX card dependent, RAM and CPU do not need to be as cutting edge, you should be fine although I do not know what CPU you have.

Also Windows 32Bit can only use 3GB of RAM, your current 2GB + 1GB GFX card = 3GB.

So there is no point adding any more than what you have already.

Yeah, CPU should be fine, the new GFX card will make a lot of difference.

Don't bother adding any more RAM, waste of money.
