OK here is my configuration:
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) D 3.00 GHz
RAM: 2,00 GB DDR2 333 MHz
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT 512mb DDR3 up to 1GB
HDD: 160 GB
OS: Windows 7 32-bit

And here is my PR video settings

Resolution: 1204x768@60Hz
Terrain: Medium
Effects: High
Geometry:High
Textures: Medium
Lightning: Medium
Dynamic Shadows: Low
Dynamic Light: Low
Anti-Aliasing: Off
Texture Filtering Distance: Meduim
View Distance Scale: 100%

And I still get 15fps sometimes, so will adding 1 more gig of RAM help to improve my video settings?

While 4 offers optimal performance, I've been running 3Gb for a while now. Its ok, but I cannot put ALL settings on high without crashing on some maps.

You mares well get 4gb. It will speed up loading times a bit and help with the more memory heavy maps.

3 should help but you'll need a 64 Bit OS to use more than that.
Intel(R) Pentium(R) D is a little long in the tooth too.February 2006:The Intel® Pentium® D processor may contain design defects or errors known as errata which may cause the product to deviate from published specifications. Current characterized errata are available on request.( this is from Intel® Pentium® D Processor 800Δ Sequence Datasheet.)
I believe your chip set is 64 bit compliant so sell the 32 bit OS and grab a 64 copy.
You need to do everything you can to help your CPU
Defrag HD
Put page file (virtual ram) on drive other than system (fast 4 gig USB flash drive?)
Make sure you have your PCIe card getting the largest data block possible in your Bios.

Good luck

Will a 64-bit Win7 work good with 3 gigs of RAM? I cant afford buying 2 slots of 2 gigs because I have only 2 RAM slots in my motherboard!
BTW I have Win7 64-bit Installation, so that isnt a problem
Thanks

Will a 64-bit Win7 work good with 3 gigs of RAM? = Yes, but getting a better video card with at least 1 gig on ram on it would be a better use of $$ IMHO
