should i buy a new or upgrade?
wtf is w/ your ram?...
lmao idk i used to think it was high!!
needs more ram. this picture shows us like nothing about your computer
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 ramwow those ram modules are like ultra rare?

(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.
ye u got a point there never thought about that ,hehe
but 512 is a little bit low bcz with pk'ing, doing wars u prolly need more.
aq..i have 600 RAM and i lag like shit ... <_< get more RAM 1gb at least is what every1 tells me.
yeah, because you need more ram... i used to have it 512 ram. whenever a group of opp. nation came i lagged like shit and then next thing u know i was dead. but after it just flowsaq..i have 600 RAM and i lag like shit ... <_< get more RAM 1gb at least is what every1 tells me.[/b]
this game need a lot cpu power not ram guys :S
sure ram is also important, but your cpu need power
4example i use a
4core duo
2gb ram ddr2
and a nice ati readon ddr2 i think 256mb (dont know exactly) :S
but man i can tell ya the game runs soooooo smoth its unbelievable XD
2 gig ram,... + decent chip...this game need a lot cpu power not ram guys :S

Upgrade that shit.
should i buy a new or upgrade?[/b]
Buy more RAM (2gb+ recommended).
Buy new processor ( optional ).
Buy nice graphic card (8880 GT+).
thanks all but i only lag very little during wars or boss events
Get a dedicated graphics card first......
Your computers memory / cpu don't just determine how fast it is, at a guess I'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's no point spending all out on a high spec PC if you aren't going to use it.
