Also...since I have two slots...if I upgrade will there be any bullshit if there's three RAM sticks or does it still need 4...only to lose it to XP's limit? Will it help ETQW at all to have an extra gig of RAM? I have a P4P800 SE mobo, a P4 Prescott 3.2 and an AGP ATI X1950 Pro. Will extra RAM help this game because there are still moments (short ones that last 2-3 seconds) where my framerate tanks (and it's always in the same maps in the same locations) and it's even worse if there's a big fire fight. On thing I noticed is that overall I'm actually only getting slightly better performance in ETQW than with my old video card (FX 5900 Ultra with 2 GB of system RAM) with pretty much the same graphics settings.
