Who here has the lowest RAM?

1 GB RAM and 512 MB GPU RAM. When playing games it's the GPU that's tested more than your RAM or CPU. It's when you're encoding audio/video and image editing that your CPU and RAM are actually tested.

3 Gb.

I have 4gb of ram, but for us XP users who have 4gbs, we're only techincally using about 3.25gb.

Quad Core computers are unrivaled for rendering videos. Oh dear lord I'd hate to see how long a high quality 30 minute video takes to encode on a single core computer.

On my old P4 video encodes were a "I'll check progress tomorrow morning" thing. Now that I'm on the i7 it's done in an hour!

Also Vasu: It depends entirely on the game. GTAIV was more bound to the CPU because of the AI and physics.
