    I'm kind of noob, so hopefully someone can humor me.

    I have an HP Zd8000 notebook with the stock ATI x600 graphics card at 256mb and 1 GB of ram also 2.8 Ghz....would it be worth it to me to upgrade to 2 GB's???

    I game often, so would I see a significant difference in picture quality and speed?? Would I see any difference in C&C 3???

    Your bottleneck is the CPU and Vid Card, so other than multitasking, upgrading the RAM won't make a difference

    Run smoother. 2 gigs can't hurt.
