Shared memory, how much of a boost would extra RAM give?
I've bought the machine (Acer Aspire 5742) described below.
I'm wondering what performance boosts I could expect if I raised the amount of RAM in the machine from 3Gb to it's max, 8Gb.
What kind of boost, if any, will the graphics get with the extra RAM, for instance?
