<p>At the moment you need a <span style="font-size: large;"><strong>lot </strong></span>more than 2 gig of memory to run eq2.</p>

<p>Don't really need more than 2GB.  More is nice......but not required.</p><p>Some things to try:</p><p>1) List what performance mode you are trying to run the game in.</p><p>2) Defrag your Games drive after any major patch.</p><p>Right now the game is very processor intensive and doesn't really offload a lot to the graphics card.  They are slowly moving graphic engine components to using the GPU but it is going to be a slow process.  After all the game engine is probably 10 years old now.</p>

<p>As the previous poster mentioned, you shouldn't need a large increase in RAM but another GB or two certainly wouldn't hurt.  Anything beyond that level will not have an impact on performance, though.</p><p>Can you give us some idea what you mean when you say the game is running slow?  How many frames per second are you getting and at what performance settings?  I wont be able to tell you if your performance levels are unusual without knowing that information.</p>
