Will uprading to snow leopard help with ultra mode?
Apple's recent OS updates do bring updated drivers, and yes you will see some performance improvement in some applications...
however, that performance boost isn't actually that large across the board... and in some applications, performance goes down : http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?pag...osx_1063&num=1
So no. Upgrading to Snow Leopard won't really help a Re-implemented Geforce 8600 / 9600 run Ultra Mode features on higher settings: http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=88&pgno=7
Overall the upgrade might be worth it, since 10.6.3 not only has newer graphics drivers, but it also contains fixes for network stuff that can affect gameplay.
Adding more memory is always better if you run a lot of apps at the same time, but 4 gigs is more than CoH will ever take up by itself.

If I upgrade to snow leopard will I see any performance increases in ultra mode?
I haven't upgraded yet cause I like to wait til bugs are all worked out.
How about if I upgrade memory?
I have a 24inch imac with
