The more ram doesn't help LW rendering.

I have experimented the speed of rendering work with LW, in case of more using ram:

Light Works
The size of picture : 900/745
The best quality
Anti aliasing : best
realistic sun
heaven light on

First with 1GB Ram: 10 min.

with 3 GB Ram: also 10min!

Regarding my experiment the ram size doesn't help reducing rendering time.

How was in your case?

More RAM wont necessarily speed up rendering, but it will allow a more complicated render to be completed without slowdown. It will be even more noticable at higher resolutions. Try rendering at 1600x1200 with lots of geometry and see if it makes any difference.

Imagine it's like a larger fuel tank in a car. You wont go any faster, but you will go further!

Agreed. Good way to explain the "RAM and LW relationship".
