that means upgrading my ram wont make encoding any faster, right?

Upgrading your RAM will do nothing unless: You have too little for your OS, the encoder and its data structures to fit without paging (pretty unlikely if you have 512MB or more). Your motherboard/memory controller can support RAM with a faster timing than the sticks you have.

Not neccessarily. Its very dependent upon your individual config. Moving to PC HW/SW forum.

it also depends if your running lots of filters, then adding more memory would mean less paging and slightly higher speeds

x264 usualy takes me 100-250MB RAM, depending on the source...
