More memory will help a bit, the real culprit to your stuttering and slowness is more than likely the Intel GMA 900 Video card that your computer has. This card uses "Dynamic" video memory which means it is using your main system RAM. when your CPU and GPU are both trying to access your system RAM you are going to see slow downs. Also when your GPU has to access system RAM it is always going to be much slower than if it had its own onboard RAM in general. FSautoStart will free up some RAM and some CPU cycles but if your main bottle neck is the Video card you will not see any benefits from this program.
