Having and integrated video card supposedly sucks up a lot of RAM? I am wondering if Upgrading the RAM size of my laptop will increase gaming performance. And could someone provide a rough estimate on the price of upgrading from 3gigs of ram to something higher like 8gigs.

Please and Thank you.

Nope. 3gb vs 8gb on a laptop is useless.

3 to 4 would probably be better if you have a 64bit OS. Still though the gain in gaming would be very minute.

Yeah, 3 to 4 is definitely not worth your trouble. If you are begining to spike above 3, I'd just save the money and buy a desktop.

Do you have a 64-bit os? If you have 32-bit, then going from 3 to 4 will be a waste of money.

Increasing ram won't make up for the fact that you can't game on integrated. Sorry.
