To run doom 3 optimally, you'll also need a quantum processor, dual GeForce 12's, a 3D holographic VR headset, a spinal chord implant and a singing frog (for luck).

I think spendinng a fortune on a gig of RAM just to get one game to run 10% better than it did on 256 MB is a waste of money perfectly. problem with large amounts of RAM is that you lose the benefit after a while. Your memory controller actually ends up spending more time looking for the data than it would do coming out of a fast indexed swap file.

Spend the money if you want, I just don't think the end justifies the cost.
