Memory is just one bottleneck.
What processor, what board, and what chipset? And of course, what video card? Have you benchmarked it with the usual pc/3d tests and game clip simulations? It's tough to know what to target without knowing the problem. I know you want to work on or learn this area but keep in mind memory performance may not help a great deal. It certainly isn't the simplest thing to start with. Start by measuring, and then targeting the easy pickings. Get your measurements first.
Dilbert's suggestion of storage points to a different area, but long pauses to page in new map areas can be worse than low frame rates. Depends on your system and your pet peeves. For myself there's nothing quite as joyous as wildly fast storage.
Ack, we should cover programs and the timings more but I'm late. Back at this later.
