    Well first off how about you tell us what you use the PC for

    That specification is absolutely fine (if a little low) for general usage and gaming

    If you wanted to speed it up for I'd look at getting a dedicated graphics card, because yours currently is a built in on-board graphics using up 64mb system memory.

    You'd see a better boost in KO performance changing to a dedicated card than doubling the memory.

    You could also change some settings to speed up your PC which will cost nothing (like windows visual themes) it's currently set-up for best appearance.

    wow those ram modules are like ultra rare?
    i guess it's a 2x 224mb module.
    U should atleast get 1 gb of ram to play ko smoothly,
    how old is your comp?4+ years i guess?
    If you got money u should really get a new comp because
    seeing ur processor and modules ur motherboard is also old i guess.
    so u cant use new modules, the only thing you can do is searching for ddr1 rams which are rare and more expensive than ddr2 modules.
    Dont know if u got a graphic card, but if it's onboard u should really buy one
    my opinion is get a new one

    The modules aren't rare, it's using 2x256 modules btw it's because the graphics are onboard and using 64mb of ram
    (448 + 64 = 512)

    Suggestions for faster gameplay : Get a dedicated graphics card first (they're cheap as chips now). Increasing the RAM won't really do much for you my other PC had 512 and it loaded fine

    If you wanna get a newer PC rather than upgrading. Buy a motherboard upgrade kit for about £150 with a cheapy graphics card

    My 2nd PC has 2gb 667 and dual core 2.8ghz with a 512mb PCI-e card and it's fast at loading. I ain't spending much on upping cos it's only a game. If it was my webserver it would be higher spec as it would be multimedia setup.

    Upgrade that shit.

    Buy more RAM (2gb+ recommended).
    Buy new processor ( optional ).
    Buy nice graphic card (8880 GT+).

    Get a dedicated graphics card first......

    Your computers memory / cpu don&#39;t just determine how fast it is, at a guess I&#39;d say it only happens during loading zones. The internet speed your on is also probs quick if it loads fast

    Just try the graphics card first and let us know from there there&#39;s no point spending all out on a high spec PC if you aren&#39;t going to use it.
