• Which component is my bottleneck?

I'm going to a computer show (Market Pro East in Ft. Washington) on Sunday, and I'm gonna grab something that will relieve me of my lag in Fallout 3. It's not bad lag, it's just occasional stuttering when looking around and such. Here's my current setup. AMD Phenom x3 8450 on a Foxconn a7GM-s 2x1gb of PNY DDR2 RAM at 667MHz EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 896mb of GDDR3 @ core 300MHz, shaders 601MHz, memory 100MHz 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate If anyone has any idea, I'll need to know by Sunday. I THINK it's the RAM to be honest. It's not really made for gaming and 2gb isn't too much in the first place. Let me know if you need more information. Also, if this belongs in Hardware, please move this, but I put this in fast threads because I expected it to have one answer.
Probably your RAM, that CPU should handle Fallout 3 nicely and the GPU's able to max it out no problem.
ram most likely. I have a worse computer overall, but with 4gb, and i max out fallout 3.
Thanks for the quick response y0haN. Nice to be able to confirm my suspicions. I'll look for ~4gb of some gaming RAM when I go, as I have $150 which is more than enough at a Marketpro show.

Hopefully this will resolve it. It's not like it's bad in the first place, it's just annoying to have a noticeable frame drop when i spin around
my ATI Radeon HD 4350 is bottlenecking my computer :frown: :colbert:
