Can I do this with my computer?

Question

Well, on my computer i have 448 MB of RAM... And for games like WOW, and spore, and stuff that requires 512.. But I want to play these games with out buying some more RAM... So basically i'm asking, would these games run right with out the correct amount of RAM??

Answer 1

its hard to play WOW ..u can play but it ll be very slow..u ll hav frame by frame movements..so its better to increase ur RAM by 256MB

Answer 2

ya but it will take longer to load

Answer 3

They will actually run - just incredibly slow. I would suggest running as few process's as possible whilst playing these games. Each KB matters

Answer 4

I think you have 512mb of ram installed its just that it its being shared with your integrated graphic card.

Answer 5

Dude just buy more RAM, it costs like $10 on newegg for an extra 512MB

Answer 6

maybe  but most likely  it will  load slow or   keeps  on sticking when ur playing  

Answer 7

When it says 512 it's referring to the "minimum" amount you need. I'm running 1GB of ram on my laptop and it still lags when I play WOW.  You can try it and turn all the visual settings down on the games and see what happens. Good luck.  

Answer 8

no you will break it.

Answer 9

If you're using Vista there is a feature that will let you turn any memory stick (USB key) into more RAM I think it's called ReadyBoost (not 100% sure). I haven't tried it myself but if you need more RAM why not try it.

Answer 10

it will be very slow and laggy. i wouldn't do it.
