2Gb DDR2

7-8fps??
Lol even difference of 2-3 fps means a lot.
And if you Play Fifa 12 Only.You wont need that much RAM anyway.

Woah woah woah.....have a little pity on your poor GPU. If you are into heavy gaming, upgrade your machine.

Games are mostly GPU centric, RAM helps in multitasking on your system.But there are few games out there Elder Scrolls V which depend heavily on CPU.

The games which you have suggested can be improved much-much more by using atleast with an entry level DX11 GPU.Upgrade your stuff buddy.....
