I must agree here, especially when I just did a test like this. I ran my most intensive game (no need to talk about my specs) and, at most, I used 3.46GB of my total RAM, and up to the 2GB of VRAM on the card.

You will start to see games for PC using more RAM now... the low-end videoscards will have 2GB minimum... the high-end 4/6/8GB.

I wonder when that might be. Could see 4-6GB games by year's end, to be honest.

Easier for developers when that becomes the minimal spec. If you're thinking in terms of the PC box you're using today, regardless of specs, you're probably not forward thinking.

Somehow I doubt there will ever be a point where a developer says "no more RAM can be used from this point on! that's enough forever!"
