d00d!...ram and HDD space are completely different!....the only association that ram has with HDDs is how you set up your virtual memory (aka page file), which resides on your HDD...

well consider this....from my guess I'm going to bet the maximum amount of ram your machine will deal with is 1GB....maybe, just maybe, 1.5GB but that may be severely limited based upon how your motherboard will allow such an amount to be put in...I'm also betting you have a PIII cpu, but that's not relative to this discussion...anywho, think about it...you are trying to download files that are ~700MB, and the most amount of ram you can probably add in is less than that most likely!....logically speaking adding in ram is not going to help your storage problems in any way because of the simple argument of MB amount....soooo....hmmm..well simply put disc space and memory are two completely different things, and differ in size descriptions enormously...
