[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1447707, member: 56379"] Great point man!:) @OP: More ram can equal better performance. Especially if the games being played require a good amount of "base ram" just to launch the game...which could possibly not leave much for the integrated graphics hardware to run effectively/efficiently. If you only have 4gig of ram...subtract from that what is needed to: - run the OS - the amount of ram the game needs - ram any additional apps. that may be active need (internet browser, mail apps., iTunes, etc.) ...then there may no be much ram left for the graphics hardware. - Nick [/QUOTE]
