Wow. I'd put off buying more ram for my laptop...

because I don't game much with it and the PC3200 SODIMMS seemed overpriced. It came with 512MB and played a few games like Half Life 2, Doom III etc ok but EQ2 was very frustrating. Horrific load times and horrid frame rate made it not fun. I dealt with it because I only played like 4hours a month. I bought a gig of ram for it last weekend and now EQ2 is a completely different game... holy shit. Even the bird rides are silky smooth on high quality setting. That used to be a slide show for me. It's even mostly playable on the highest graphic setting.

oh man I lived in the hell that is EQ2 on 512 MB of ram for awhile, I feel your pain. Basically unplayable. Newer comp, 2 gigs now and loads are < 10 secs usually.

good thing you don't want to spend money every year or 2 to upgrade your system

Computers are like cars. You put a little money into them every year to tune them up and they'll last you a long time.
