Hey guys I was going to buy a gatweay m680xl but my gateway m505x plays bf2 demo just fine... In low settings (medium textures, terrain)

Should i buy more ram for better performance? At fry's they are selling 1gb kingston ram for 99 bucks after rebate. Does the gatewa my 505x accept a 1gb pc 2100 ram? Or should i buy the 1gb pc 2700 (124 after rebate) let me know which ones worked well for u guys thanks

the stock ram is PC2700 from Hyundai/Hynix, the reason I purchased KingMax is because of 150 + good users reviews

Well I am playing a great game just out "Boiling Point" with my M505X with 512 megs and I think i will need to go to 1 Gig soon too. It runs the game fine but needs to page in from time to time as I move around the endless enviorment of 625 square KMs.

Can I just add 1 gig and have 1.25 gigs or do I need to add 2 512 meg cards ??

Thanks

Daley

You can just add 1 GB stick for a total of 1.25GB of RAM PC2700. or buy 2 x 1GB stick for a total of 2GB of RAM

I have 1.25GB of ram in my m6807 (Radeon 9600 64mb). Before my Video Card overheated and toasted itself I was running at Medium everything, 100% draw distance and all the lighting turned off. Ran great, just make sure you've got the bottom of your laptop cooled so you don't toast your video card like I did. (I wasn't OC'n btw).
