Most likely that will make WoW run faster. Adding RAM reduces the number of times that your computer has to access the hard drive for information. RAM is about 1000 times faster than a hard drive accesses information, so that could very easily crank up your performance. Also, I'd check your internet connection. You could have a killer computer that might be squelched by your modem speed. Remember, your computer's speed is determined by the slowest component. Three main components which can affect your online performance: Processor/Video Card speed, Amount of RAM, and internet connection.

Not necessarily,
If you already have 500meg of DDR RAM then it's not the RAM
If you have broadband internet via a cable (satellite internet has a high ping so I'm told) then it's not your internet.
If you have more than 1gig of space on your hard drive after installing then it's not that
If you've got a 64meg video card that supports hardware transform and lightening and the latest drivers then it's not that
If it's not any of the above then you're in trouble (and yes I know the minimum requirements are lower, but I raised the numbers a bit to ensure no problems!)
If you still have problems, contact technical support!

Most probley yes. Depends on if the swap file is being used a lot or not at all. Closing down applications and background tasks will help speed up the game as you will have more processor time avaible to you.

Probably yes - it depends how much ram you put in if you put a 64mb stick in then it will run faster but not as fast as a 512mb or a 1gb stick if you are putting the 1gb stick in i would recomend also putting a new processor in !! which will make it even faster thatnks Rover45662001

Take it from a WoW gamer. It could be your internet connection. You should know if it is or not by your latency but more than likely its your RAM. For WoW to run perfect you need at least 1 gig. GL!

Put in as much RAM as your motherboard can take. You will see a great increase, but note that other parts of your pc make a difference when it comes to speed, such as cpu, hdd and video card.

Yes. You should have at least half a gig of ram and a video card with at least 128mb. 2 gig of ram would be better though.

We just got more RAM and it's changed my life. Highly recommend it, although i'm playing Sims a lot more than is healthy now, which isn't good.

Yeah, the more RAM in your computer, the better. Also, you may want to upgrade your graphics card.

If you already have at least 700 MB's, it prob won't help much. If you mean fast internet communication, no. Only faster bandwidth will help that.
