Hey Splash,
How much RAM you got and how much you going to get?
I can give you two answers, one simple the other.... less simple:
1. Yes it'll help
2. Increasing RAM will help upto a point.
I say upto a point because at some stage it will no longer make a difference if your CPU is too slow, as is my situation.
I, for example, have over a gig or DDR ram, but I only have a 1.4GHz Athlon. With sliders maxed and a high poly aircraft I will get between 6-20fps. If I upgrade my CPU to be fast enough to use the full potential of all that RAM it should help dramatically.
My point is a ton of RAM ain't going to help unless you've got the CPU grunt to back it up.
Hope this helps you out some.
Cheers
David
P.S. A big honking graphics card will do wonders aswell.
