Getting more RAM won't change anything. The game can't get past ~1.8GB usage.
What also helps (especially in towns) is a fast HDD.
*notes taken* Good info! I never considered the fact about your HDD read/write speed would affect you the most in towns! but it makes perfect sense!

I have AMD 2Ghz Dual Core as well and notice the game hovers at about 80% on both cores! any process that runs in windows in the background that even starts to run, can cause a hiccup in FPS. It's only momentary. If your looking to upgrade your CPU I would at least push a little further past 2Ghz.

I'm looking at this as well, but unfortunately my Motherboard is old enough now that I'm looking at a full overhaul to get a decent CPU in my system :P Ah the price we pay to play PC games!
