There are times when I like to look back to what kind of computers people had in the past. While everyone here who have 2 or 4 gigs of memory in their machines, there was a time when 1 gig was unthinkable. I remember looking at anyone who did have 512 megs of memory in their PCs to be consider overkill. Obliviously I was wrong, while all games now require at least 1 gig of memory.

Hehehehe....

Last year I was thinking that 1GB is really an overkill because I didn't play games that require huge ram amounts.
