Hey, so I like to watch HD trailers but whenever I view the HD trailers with Windows Media Player, its hard to skip through the video. Like If I saw the first half and wanted to view the second half, I would have to watch the whole first half. If I tried skipping to the second half, it would pause and load for a really long time. Right now, I have 4 gigs of RAM. If I get 8 gigs, will this stop happening? Or at least improve it?

it's probably actually more video card/processor related.

No 4gig is way more than enough for HD videos. It's probably video card related as Paul says.

Are you talking about streaming videos over the internet? If so, you need to upgrade your internet service, not your computer.
