Raiding is so close yet so far... (computer help needed)

First thing first, let's clarify a few things that happens with me:
Im on dialup (YES, it still exists)
No, i cant get better (Living in the middle of nowhere sucks)
I did a Mag recently, and Sunwell trash farming (which i was at login screen 50% of the time ><)
The mag turned i didnt DC during any trash, but i DCed (without dying) about 7 times, on the opposite the SWP Trash, i DCed on about every pull, but i probably kept doing my job while being out (spamming sheep) because during one pull i was spamming sheep, then after 2 mobs were dead, i wasnt touching my keyboard and i was still spamming sheep xD
Anyway, i was told countless times (on some wow forums, and other computer-related forums) that it IS possible to do 25mans (and even 40mans) using dialup, if you have a good amount of RAMs.
So since i had 512, that was probably the reason, so i went yesterday and bought a 2gb stick! But by my computer's info, i only have 1gb inside... so anyone could points out any places to fix that and possibly unlock that other GB?
Im running on WinXP pro, SP2, 1.80 GHZ computer, and a Geforce FX 5200 graphic cards, all my video options on wow are on the left, including Specular lighting and death effects...
Questions:
If i get that extra GB, would i be able to not DC during those raids?
Even if i only keep my 1gb, would i be able to run SSC? (in the case that Sunwell being half-outside contains more graphics/lag than ssc which is purely indoor)
And last but not least, is this really true, or even if i get the full 2gb, i would still suck at raiding and wow would keep laughing at me >.>
Thanks for all constructive and helpful answers that will you guys post, if you want to make fun of me, go die in a hole already.

Find out what motherboard you have then check to see if it can handle 2Gb of RAM. My old computer with similar proccessor and graphics card could only handle 2x1Gb sticks.
I'm not sure about the DC issue as I have super fast broadband :)
Hope this helps and good luck with the raiding.

I had the same problem as you but I didnt have dial-up but rather very slow form of non-dial-up. I thought RAM would help so I upped my RAM from 512mb to 1.5 gb and at first I saw a slight improvement, but for whatever reason, within a few days, I was DCing and my comp was freezing as much as ever, if not more. So, I can't really help you with your problem, except to say that you better keep the receipt for the RAM because if your computer is anything like mine, it may not help.
