    Wassup guys, I was just wondering...
    I'm interested in getting the FJ series notebook, but the graphics card is the integrated Intel one, which I know is pretty ****py..
    so I was wondering if you added 2gb of ram to the notebook, will it give the notebook better gaming performance?

    The graphics card is the most important feature in offering better gaming performance.

    What you are thinking is this. When you add more/faster ram to a computer, your graphics card will perform better. This occurs because the VPU and the ram work together in order to provide your graphics. The more ram that you have and the faster it is, the more intensive the graphics card can work.

    However, the intel integrated graphics is so aweful that even with 2 gigs of ram you would have a little trouble running the 5 year old game Counter-strike. The intel graphics card is meant for movies / less graphics intensive tasks, NOT GAMING.

    If your interesting in doing any gaming, nix any model that has the intel graphics only, or customize it to a better card.
