So I whent to my grandmas today and decided to do a little test I took one of the 2gb sticks out of my PC and "traded" her RAM she Has a 4gb stick of Crucial Balsitix 1866mhz why the company that built her PC gave her such a high frequency RAM not to mention the ASUS A85 motherboard I don't know the most she does is online poker so I am confused as to why they did this but any ways I took her 4gb stick and put it in my PC giving me a total of 6gb (5.5gb usable) and I was surprised by the performance improvement in battlefield 3 I went from 25-30fps on low settings to 35-40fps on medium settings all with that little bit more RAM  the Ram is the only thing I changed I didn't change the clock speed and I'm still on integrated graphics
