A few days ago my laptop's HD got fried because of faulty drivers. I've had to change the HD because of this. Since I had to change the HD, I also plan on upgrading from 256mb ram to 1.25gb ram and from a 35gb HD to 120gb.
The question is, will the increased ram result in better overall performance of everyday programs like firefox and MS office?
I'm asking because the video card can't be changed, and it's (only) a 32mb motherboard-integrated graphics controller (IGP) and not a video card. Before, it could play RO and Warcraft 3 just fine but had a hell of a hard time with games like Lineage II.
