- - will increasing memory improve performance? (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=110372)

I have an Athlon 64 3400 (2.4ghz) with 1GB DDR400 RAM and GeForce 6800GT.

I have everything on max except for post rendering filter thingy is off.

It runs smoothly on the whole except when in heavy weather and fog.

Think I will get another gig of RAM.

I have an AGP motherboard, what card can I get that is an improvement on my current one but is NOT PCI-Express?

For GeForce card I think the 7900GS is about as high as you can go there, if you can find one, else a 7600GT 256MB.

Not being as familiar with ATI, I'd say the 1950 is the superior card to the 7900....make sure your power supply can handle it.
