upgrading ram.... plz read and help quickly

in my rig i got
athlon 3400+ 2.4ghz
1 gb 333mhz ram
radeon x1950 pro 512mb

i just bought the video card and now running games at a pleasent framerate (cs:s, fear, etc) but i keep getting these hiccups/stutters when playing, now if i upgraded my ram to 2gb 400 mhz, would that help get rid of all these hiccups/stuters in my framerate?

Depends on the games, but I doubt it - few games really take advantage of more than 1GB of RAM right now.upgrading ram.... plz read and help quickly
[QUOTE=''RayvinAzn'']Depends on the games, but I doubt it - few games really take advantage of more than 1GB of RAM right now.[/QUOTE] that's a lie, most of new games will use more than 1024mb but not more than about 1200mb so upgrading to 2gb should help

will i not be able to run that on my mobo cause i dont dual channel slots???

Do you have vertical sync enabled on your options for the games? I think having it enabled can cause stutters/tearing.
Not worth upgrading to 2gb RAM because when you will change your CPU and mobo you will need DDR2. So I advice you to up upgrade up to 1.5Gb only

Dual-Channel is not a slot, it's a way two equal sticks of RAM operate to give increased memory bandwidth.
