Can lack of memory hold back a video card?

And by that I mean system RAM.
Presently I have 192 MB of PC 100 - 3 64MB DIMMS.
I am not getting the performance in gaming, and general computer use, that I would think I could expect. I downloaded performancetest to see how my system shaped up against other similar speced systems, and every one that was endowed with a larger amount of memory got a better mark - even those with a slower CPU speed (I'm 992). So I am thinking a tasty chunk of 256 MB RAM would let my GeForce 2 GTS loose. The reason I think the GTS is not performing as it should is that my V2 SLI pair aren't exactly outclassed by it. In fact, they are right on a par with it in some applications.
Any advice on this?
Oh, and can I get PC 133? Mix it with my present PC 100?
 
192 is more than enough to take full advantage of your GTS
most sites benchmarks with only 128MB RAM

I think something else is wrong
not your memory i dont think
 
I think if you mix your memory it will still run at the slowest speed. So if you mix PC100 and PC133 it'll be like you have all PC100s.
 
192MB is definitely more than enough for gaming uses as well as general computer use, unless you multitask a lot or use memory intensive software(video/graphical/audio editing etc).
As for mixing RAM, yes you can. It will run as fast as the slowest module does.
