i recently had a new graphics card and my sims 2 game still wasnt all that good
ive been told to upgrade my 512mb RAM to 2GB RAM (not buying a new computer--just upgrading it)
how much do you think it will cost?

Go to the following link, http://www.crucial.com/uk they can do an on line check which will determine which ram your motherboard supports. They will recommend the optimum amount. You can order on line and although they are not the cheapest it is worth paying for good ram. They guarantee compatibility with your motherboard and give an excellent warranty.They lso give fitting instructions. I have used them many times and always been satisfied. Hope this helps.

You have 256MB of memory. I hope you've been using Windows 98 or Windows 2000 the most. lol. Even then a memory upgrade to 1GB will be a big improvement. However, if your PC only has 256MB of memory then I'm guessing that its a dated machine by today's standards (machines with 4-8 GB). Weigh the pros an cons of upgrading to 1GB of nemory vs purchasing a new, cheap computer. Given that you're contemplating a memory upgrade, I doubt that you need the latest and greatest machine on the market.

If you are going to do the upgrade I would suggest you buy a pair of matching 1GB chips, rather than keeping the older 512 installed.
Expect to pay about £50 per chip.
Visit the crucial website to check exactly what memory your pc will accept.
I personally wouldn't bother with online auction houses, you are not going to save all that much over a local PC builder

first see if ur motherboard supports 2gb ram and if it then see ur smps of how many watts it is. u must have something around 400watts. and sims 2 doesn't require more than 512mb ram and 128mb graphic card. check out whether u have installed latest driver for your graphic card.

around £50 on ebay, but u need to check ur motherboard to see if it will support 2G, and they're different types of ram... make sure u have all the details and u'll have no prob getting it off ebay...
