not enough memory?

does not not enough memory cause lag in games.
I got a game that says 512 recommended. I got 1.5gig. (Its cheapy/standard memory).
After 10mins lag starts creeping in. Its not a heat issue/psu/graphics card.

what about your harddrive, how big is it and how much free space is on it. Maybe do a little disk cleanup and see if it helps. It should be under start - all programs - accessories - system tools. It would go though your computer and get rid of temporary files.

What game is it?

thanks I'll try that.
Back to the memory thing I also notice that during games when theres more "action" say an explosion it starts to lag. Whats a possible cause?

try my possible solution and see if it helps. Remember games are hard on computer resources.
