Well I'll see about upgrading my RAM but since games are secondary to real life I think I'll just tolerate the slow loading speeds. Thanks everybody.

To see if your laptop supports upgrading (not all laptops do, as some of them are constructed in very efficient but impossible to re-assemble ways...) look in the manual of your laptop.

EDIT: @Bovi: I think he meant 3GB of RAM, and not 2 which means it's the well-known limitation of 32bit processors. That's not outdated, yet.

I already checked and it is upgradeable (two slots for RAM memory, of which one is unused). I din mean 2 GB of RAM. I don't know anything about limitations but I wouldn't want to spent too much on this. In fact 2 GB seems a lot to me.

2^32=4294967296 = 4GB. A limit of 3GB would be just plain weird.

3GB arises from the fact that 4GB needs to house:
Available RAM;
BIOS ROM;
GFX RAM;
And any other memory mapped device...

So in practice, with a reasonably powerful PC 4GB actually boils down to like 3-3.5GB of RAM.
