I was wondering if 7 G of RAM is any good for gaming and if the EVGA GeForce 9800 GT Superclocked Video Card - 512MB DDR3, PCI Express 2.0, Dual DVI worked well with games like ArmA 1? Thanks a lot.

4GB is more than enough for most systems, I doubt you would need more than that unless you multi-task several very intensive programs at once.

It's not bad, it's just unnecessary.

on a similar topic... why the hell 7? do you like have a spare 1 gig stick laying around? cause typically ram comes in 2s....

oh, and RAM is what a game needs to show tons of enemies at once. no game's been designed yet that would take 7. but i think one should, fighting a match against like 3000 bots would be sick....

4gb is all you need, like the other person said 7gb is useless..
