Good, not best, but quality mid-range. I use similar, though older.

thats the prices for the corsair memories, personally I go with crucial but thats just me.  And I also spent a little extra because Newegg had $100 off the crucial 2x 1 GB pc2 8000 sticks (50 instant and 50 mail in) a few days ago

Ok so i ordered that ram last night.  I know i'll sound like an idiot asking this question, but here it goes... I have 1 gig of RAM as of right now in my computer.  With a Geforce 7300 LE. (I know its not the best). What exactly will 2 more gigs of RAM do to the game? Raise FPS?  Just add speed to startup?

used to be 225

now is 125

best price preformance.

Shiffdaddy, you'll probably be better off just taking out the previous gig of ram.  It will disable the dual channel mode and you'll, in essence, be getting less from more.  Also, if your old ram is running at higher CAS timings/lower voltages you'll only get as much performance as your worst stick of ram.  (if your old stick of ram is shitty, it will bog down the performance of your new ram)

Better RAM will increase load times, decrease start lag (when you first load the game then the map, sometimes you get that initial lag), and it may raise FPS slightly.

Don't expect to be running all high at max resolution though just from upgrading RAM, that's not a very powerful video card.
