which processor ur using i have heard that FAR cry is dependent on processor speed or type of processor rather than gfx card.......

Nah won't help.Try and increase the memory to atleast 512MB or at the max 1GB .The game demands heavy load times due to the extensive texture and cinematic cut scene loading.

Yeah. ram makes a lot of difference on FC. With 512 mb u can feel the diffference.
U have big loading time as the heavy files are loaded into virtual mem on HD instead of RAM. With at least 512 ram most files are loaded into ram nd u get much better loading time. Also it boosts your windows startup time and u can see overall system peromance boost with lots of ram.
