Absolutely agree with you. I've argued about this with others
before but I've seen a noticeable improvement with 1GB of RAM. Although
this does little for frame rates it does iron out any jerkiness and speeds
up loading times as there is less paging to disk. Fast memory goes well
with a fast processor too. But the most important component is still the
video card.
