Their using kernel 3.0.8. What the ROM shows as Memory isn't how much memory the phone has, it's how much memory the kernel makes available.

very nice and cool answer thanks man!

The rest of the ram I guess it is used for Ramdisk or some sort of RAM resident code. (Or thats what I read)

Dont know if sgs2 theme is released for that new firmware yet, u tried semaphore kernel for gingerbread instead of galaxian?
Semaphore with high LMK works nice with free mem.

I believe the ram depends on the kernel. Try speedmod kernel for battery life.

We should maybe ask a question like this instead: Is it possible to show the whole 1 gb ram?..

Fastest is up to you really.. You can make any JB ROM the fastest with mods.. Doesn't mean it will be stable or have the features you want though.
Like 4-2ndtwin said, try them. Also, go in their respective thread and read to see which one suits you the best.
As others mentioned in this thread, it's very subjective.
I'm running slimbean in my Cappy and am very happy with the ROM.

fresh flash, you'll need a few full battery cycles before it settles down.
Resetting your battery stats can help too.

im not sure about first one, just download rom that supports swap, many cm7 roms with swap enabled out there.
usually it is included, but it depends if the creator has removed them or something.
why not use CM10.1 for galaxy ace, works perfectly, camera also works, barely any bugs

its pretty fast, barely any lag, you could overclock it, camera and everything worked fine, bluetooth worked fine as well, only thing was the ums, and u had to go into clockwordmod recovery to use usb storage stuff, video recording also worked, i would say best custom rom i have ever used, but atm im back to stock rom, because i could not install memory hack onto it, i am able to install memory hack on stock

do u know what swap is???
it uses your sd card as ram
memory hack uses ext4 partition on sd card as internal memory. i installed it successfully yesterday on stock, and its brilliant, nearly 1gb of internal storage, but only thing is, that it wipes all data on phone while flashing it
here is the link, download right one depending on your rom

tbh i dont know, i avoid using swap as it damages your sd card, only things i use are memory hack, and Chainfire 3D
For ultimate gaming experience you should give Omega Rom a go, but thats too old.
Generally Stock based Roms provide better gaming experience.
WP Remix Gamers edition is another ROM which is known for gaming abilities. You can give it a try.

Buy another device with more RAM.
U can't increase ram
U can use u r sdcard memory as ram by making swap partion but it makes u r phone slower than before
Use cm 10.2 18/11 built its faster smoother and no lag

Maybe he is thinking of the same problem I'm facing with.
I have 550mb of ram available instead of ~625, on CM10.2.
It was similar on the stock rom, too.
I wrote about it here somewhere... and I would appreciate an advice how to solve it...

Yes, XXLQE + cocore twrp. It was the same ram amount in stock. I upgraded to stock JB through kies, not odin. So how do you think I should flash stock again? Odin?

Thx frapeti!
I'm on CM 10.2 and I've just switched KSM on. I was suspicious of it, but I'll try it now.
When next CM release comes out, I'll try to make some more free time to permanently solve my ram issue (Odin jb flash) before upgrading to next cm release...
