I was playing on 256mb ram (!) very long time and only Prophecies working fine. Factions and Nightfall was unplayable. But when i bought 512mb ram (768 now), change was really, really huge. Only 512 is still fine, but if you buy additional 512, end effect will be great (especialy in framerate ;]).

Btw. I have low graphic card too - Radeon 9200 - but luckily i can play on highest deatails (ofc without special effects, such as Post Processing, AA).

OK so since I live in Canada, I checked out newegg.ca and found some interesting deals. I compared them with local stores for prices and such, and ended up with newegg being the cheapest. My options now are to either buy another 512 card, which I assume would give me 1g dual channelled, to buy a 1g card from newegg which I assume will just simply give me 1.5g ram.. or lastly buy 2g dual channeled from newegg and ditch my 512 card. The last option is a little more expensive then I would like to spend. What would you guys say would give me the most bang for my buck?

considering the rest of your computer I would just get the 512, you will probably want to upgrade your entire system sometime in the forseeable future, so don't spend too much $$$ now...... 1 gb total ram will be ok for your GW experience.... your video card will be more of a bottleneck at that point, so I would not worry about getting 2 gb of ram for your current system.
