Does ISBoxer get a performance boost from RAM?

[NewbieMultiBoxer]

Right now I have 5GB of ram but I'm going to upgrade it to 32GB of ram because I can get them cheap on ebay. Would I see a significant increase in performance by doing this?

If you're currently running out of RAM, then yes.
If you're not currently running out of RAM, then no.

You will most likely see an increase in performance because you've got some crazy setup using 5GB of RAM. Are you even sure your system can handle 32GB of RAM?

Yeah. The Mac Pro has 8 ram slots that max at 4gb each. I'll be running in either Parallels or Boot Camp. When I run in Parallels, my ram is already pretty maxed out to the point where I can't even run ISBoxer, but in Boot Camp I can open up a few clients. I was just wondering if ISBoxer was more processor dependent or RAM dependent, and at what point does RAM become near useless for ISBoxer.

Whatever game you're playing is what uses CPU and RAM -- ISBoxer has nothing to do with either either one. If you have high settings set in game then you can expect to see more CPU and RAM being used.

Oh okay. Thanks.
