    I have an Acer 5102WLMI with these specs:

    AMD Turion64 x2 TL-50 (1.6 GHz, 512 KB L2 cache total, 256 KB on each core)
    1 GB 533 MHz DDR2 RAM (2 x 512 MB)
    120 GH Hitachi 4200 RPM HD
    15.4-inch WXGA Acer CrystalBrite screen
    ATI Radeon xPress 1100 integrated graphics card
    Dual layer DVD +/- RW combo with lightscribe? (comes with lightscribe software, but drive doesn't specify if it has lightscribe or not)
    Windows Media Center Edition 2005
    Atheros Wireless 802.11 a/b/g with Signalup high efficiency antennae
    8-cell battery with a max of 4.5 hrs

    I play Call of Duty 2 on it, and it plays surprisingly well. I want to upgrade to 2GB of ram but am curious what type of improvement i am going to get. It is an integrated card wwhich uses its memory of off the system so i think it could help quite a bit.

    well as with any improvement of ram you will get better performance with just about any program or game.

    as with your computer i also have the 1 GB of ram 2x512mb 533mhz.

    I bought a 2x1gGB 667mhz G-skill off newegg for a nice price.

    as for the change in clock speed 533 vs. 667. im not too sure you will actually SEE any improvement. only in like 3d tests.
    i only got the 667 mhz because it was cheaper.
