But what about the gamer that has a single core 3200+, 1 gig of PC2700, and a 9800 Pro vid card? Or if they have a single core cpu, 1 gig and an x1300 or 6600 vid card.  Is one gig of RAM enough?  Wouldn't a lower end system need the extra gig of RAM?  Afterall, RAM is utilized for more than just a game's framerates.What am I missing or not understanding?</blockquote>
