Indeed, quite salutary fogman
About increasing fps via adding more ram, I guess this will certainly help since DX10 is designed to tap of some of the 'ram's power' when the graphical compilation is to hard for the GPU only. Don't know the effect on DX9 when adding more ram, I think it will result in the same way only via a different level.

@ adoado

I think normal mapping via VS only will be a little difficult
