Hi all. So I was wondering if I should look to upgrade any component on my computer. I have recently become infatuated with Tera Online for Korean version and am looking to play it more efficiently. I get an average of 30 FPS on it...but when a lot of stuff goes on at once on the screen, it drops to like 20ish...not to mention that it eats up a lot of RAM~ keeping me from multi-tasking (internet, video making program, etc...)

These are the recommended requirements for Tera Online:
OS - Windows XP, Vista, 7
CPU - Intel Core2 Duo E6750 2.66G/AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+
RAM - 2 GB at least
GPU - Geforce 8800GT/Radeon HD 3870
Hard Drive - 25 GB
DirectX - 9.0c

These are my specs:

Motherboard: ASUS M4A77TD Pro AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail
GPU: SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100269VXLE Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail
PSU: COOLER MASTER RS-700-AMBA-D3 700W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply - Retail
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Model HDZ955FBGIBOX - Retail
RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10600CL8D-4GBHK - Retail
Internal HD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - OEM

and Windows 7 64-bit.
================================

Anyone know if I should get extra RAM? 4 GB of RAM is nice but if I am multi-tasking, its definitely not enough. What about my motherboard? should I upgrade? my CPU? GPU?

Any help is appreciated

You are fine right now.

Most likely you need to just clean out some stuff on your OS and configure it a little better to eat less RAM.

I can run any game just fine on 2 gigs.

TERA might not be optimized that well.
