I have to end all my programs including explorer.exe and some other crap that acer has built in (that i can't remove from startup for some reason but can end process) to play WoW + GunZ Without lag and it can get quite annoying, i also can't run winamp or any other player while playing games.
That's a sacrifice you'll have to make until you get more ram. Although 2.5 gb should be enough...you sir, have processor issues.

Don't brag about being able to run gunz and do well with only 256 mb of ram. RAM isn't the only thing that makes things run fast, you also have to put into play Processor speed, graphics card. vista or XP, How many processes are running, and probably a few other things. He has 2.5 gb of ram, therefore thats not his problem. His problem stems from graphics and/or processor. Not to mention the other tasks he has running. His antivirus and such.

If i add more ram, it will allow me to run more programs and multi task with less lagg and might let me play gunz smoother (not just doing it for gunz anyway)

I'm just wondering nao whether to buy a new pc or upgrade ram...
You have 2.5 gb...I personally think you should just get a desktop if you're too picky about the tasks and stuff you have to end.

how do u start gunz without it
and i also have lot of pesky programs running how to end them
Well what I do is leave it on until I get to the gunz launcher part where it says "start game". I then control alt delete>>end task(explorer.exe).

Wait for it to close out completely and then hit the start game button.

Then when you're done with gunz. control alt delete again, and then
file>>new task(run)>>explorer.exe ^^
