So my benchmark test was pretty low 1200 and when I tested in alpha it was pretty choppy and laggy, my pc played 1.0 fairly well but I would like to squeeze a bit more out of it if possible. Asus website says this about my pc, DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM,2 x SO-DIMM socket for expansion up to 8 G SDRAM . If I did use this expansion think that would help me get the game to play more smoothly? I'm not computer savy any advice would be appreaciated.
here's some other spec info i could find about my laptop.

The short answer is probably not, but this may help a little bit.

I don't see how much RAM you currently have, but anything over 4 GB isn't going to help all that much. 32 bit games can only use about 2GB, and you get the 4 so that it can run smoothly along with the operating system. Even then, the biggest problem you've got here is the graphics chip.
it's 4gb of ram looking to expand to 8gb, probably won't make a difference though?
upgradeing ur ram 4 to an 8 GB RAM will help some lagg, mostly when in cities anyway. But ur case not so sure, if u want to contact me on skype Ichigo.k101 and we can talk. maybe i can think of a way to help ur PC.
