How Much RAM Should I Have?
I only have 3GB of RAM and only 2.73GB of RAM is usable. My games run really slow even on the lowest quality. How much RAM should I get so my games run faster?

4 is fine, except for high usage programs and games etc. I have 6gb and it is much more than enough. You will never show total 3 as usable.
Ignore reg cleaner.
Suggestions for Proper Maintenance
Optimize Windows 7
you probably have a slow CPU and your onboard video is not up to snuff.
what notebook or PC are you running?
I am using Windows 7 64-bit. That is all I know about the PC I am using. How much does RAM cost and where can I get it? How do I add the RAM into my computer after I take the cover off?
Download and Install Speccy to Find Information that you Don't know.
See Speccy - System Information - Free Download To Download Speccy
Hope This Helps,

I saw that you have lots of questions in your System Specs. Along with Speccy, it is good to know what the hardware is. Here is a good guide on what each piece of hardware is: Basic Computer Tutorial
Edit: that tutorial has to be ten years old... I can't find anything yet for Laptop components....
For internet speed if you ever wonder how fast your connection is, you can check it online here: Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Yet more info: This is your video card: Notebookcheck: ATI Radeon HD 3200
If you look at this link you can see comparable games and the fps (frames per second) that the card is capable of.

Bravo on the specs. the Ram that is in the computer might be as much as you can have, but I don't think it will increase game performance. Did you look at the link for your Graphics card?
I will check for more info.
