Will my system handle RNR?
 
OK so the game runs kinda choppy and somewhat slow on my PC. It meets the minimum requirements. Do you think that 1GB of ram more would help the game to run smoothly?

As said by USA_Trucker multiple times, 4GB of RAM is recommended to run the game smoothly. 1GB is just way too little. I can't comment on the rest of your specs as I don't know how heavy the game is on the CPU, but it definitely needs a whole lot more RAM than what you have.

Thanks I think I'll try another ram stick. What's strange is that some people with much better computers are reporting bad perfromance...and yet the lower end PCs can run the game better. Strange.

My computer is a Dell Inspiron 530
Intel Pentium Dual CPU
With 2048MB (2GB) RAM Memory
and a 32bit operating system
Core Speed 1795.6MHz
Processor Intel Pentium E2160
Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2160 @1.80GHz
GPU is Intel G33/G31 Express Chipset Family with 320MB Memory size
Windows Vista 6.0 Home Edition
Direct X 10.0

Within 2 weeks I will have a GeForce 9500GT and a 2 GB Memory Module in addition.

Within 2 weeks I will have the ATI Radeon HD 4350 Graphics card in addition.

I don't see why not except for the 1.80GHz. I think it's too low, and would I would go to at least 4GB. I have heard of many problems with less then that. Don't believe what RnR, or 1c says that it will run good on 1, or 2 GB's of Ram. I have personally seen the difference. Also get the best graphics card you can afford.

This is another fact that RnR, or 1c incorrectly states.

Do you have any recommendations on graphic cards? And I just completely restored my computer 2 days ago, so I dont know what to do on the RAM... Ill take any advice I can get.

I can only tell you what I, and my brother have. It's a GeForce 9500 GT with 1GB Adapter, or more. It works great. I would also increase the Ram to 4GB+, if you can. Ram is an integral part of any game. The more, the better if you can afford to do so. Also go with the DDR, or DDR-2 Ram, and not the old high heat antique version. This is just my advise. Other people may differ. As games are getting more, and more memory hogs, I have 8GB of Ram. This should set me up for at least the next 2-3 years.

So a GeForce 9500GT and a 2 GB Memory Module would get me goin good, correct?

As I stated above. I recommend a 4GB, or more Ram.

I already have two, and if I get a 2GB Addition it will make me 4GB...
Also I'm pretty sure 64Bit Vista won't handle more than 4GB. So that would be my max.
