    I have a m7750n HP Pavilion PC, vista 32 bit OS, it comes with 2 gigs of memory (purchased about 2 yrs ago). I just bought a GeForce 9800 gtx+ graphics card and installed it.

    When I play games, like WoW, my psychical memory shoots up to almost 100% and have a very low fps. I was wondering if there is a way to improve this... I'm planning on buying another gig of memory.

    thanks

    you should not have any problems with playing wow on that gpu. try looking for newer or different drivers.

    yes do post in DTR forum.
    and you should be thankful that your not crashing at all, the puny hp psu would actually allow you to run a power hog like 9800gtx+.
