I recently downloaded the Tribes: Ascend beta and while it's really good, my graphics performance isn't.
I've currently got these specs (forgive me if I'm not the best with technical jargon):
- Toshiba Satellite laptop
- Intel Core i5 processor, according to CPU-Z it's 2.67GHz
- 8gb of DDR3 RAM (up from the factory-issue 2gb)
- ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
Right now I'm getting around 30fps on Tribe's worst possible settings, (minimal quality, manually turning all graphical fanciness off in the config file, 1280 resolution). I know my machine doesn't have the best GPU, but is there any way I can use my extra RAM to my advantage?
Thanks.

IMO, Having extremely large amounts of RAM won't help much if your system is being bottle-necked by a GPU.
