Only 1GB of ram? If you are going to be using this thing for gaming and/or running multiple applications to take advantage of the quad core processor then you better have 2GB at least. The last time I checked, Battlefield 2142 uses 1.6 of the 2GB of available ram I have in my system. The 1 GB is a severe bottleneck here.

But I just love the fact that a video card will now come with enough memory of it's own that a basic PC could easily survive on. I remember years ago when I bought a graphics card with 2 MB of memory on it as was REALLY excited..... :) You know, I’m not really a gamer.
