RAM Question

[R4_M9]

ALright i am a pretty big pc gamer. Star Wars Galaxies by choice. Anyway i recently started using freemeter to see how things were going with my computer. I have been having very slow loading times and switching between programs has become pretty annoyingly slow. Freemeter reads an almost constant 90% usage of my ram. Should i add more ram? I am using a stick of Crucial 512mb. What does everyone think? I mean i know that if your computer is accessing the harddrive too much odds are you need more ram but the game only calls for 256mb(required). thanks

Please post specs on your PC and the OS you are using, is that 512 MB of RAM DDR or SDRAM?

You seem to imply that it wasn't originally that slow. If it has steadily slowed down, it could be time to clean up your boot drive and/or reload your OS. Depending on what apps you're running, 512 should be sufficient for multitasking usual programs in the windows environment.

As PrntRhd said, please post more info about your system.
