OK Lets see you prove me wrong being that your soooo quick to put me down everytime i state a fact.
On Doom 3 the games size is 2.2 Gigs. and the MINIMUM requirements are a 64 MB Graphics card. The Recommended (From Gamespot bench test) for the Ultra High Graphics Setting is a Graphics card with 256-512mb of DDR Memory, and at least 512 mb of ram, they benched marked the computers in regards to how much ran they had and it started to level out at 1gb. the biggest change was from 256 to 512 which was an increase in frames per second of 40%.
So matt do a little research before you put me down asshole.

The size of the game doesn't matter. It doesn't load the entire game into memory when you load it. Having more RAM will obviously help load the game faster, but when that is overrun your computer will resort to the disk cache, also known as a paging file. This in turn is slow and will hinder your gaming experience when it comes to loading new levels, going into new areas of a game, etc... Anywhere new information has to be read. Again, a game could be 10gb, but that doesn't mean you need a better video card.
When it comes to gaming the advantages of having more than 256mb of memory on the video card aren't worth the inflated prices. You are better off spending your money on a card and motherboard that can handle 8x AGP and the fastest FSB that you can afford. After all, the front side bus is the main highway that information travels between the CPU, RAM and video card. No amount of RAM on your video card or motherboard will help you if your CPU and motherboard aren't up to the task.
What I'm saying is that no matter how much RAM you have it will not improve your FPS. That is mainly up to your video card, and secondly up to the combination of how fast your CPU, FSB and RAM is. A computer is a system just like our cars are... Everything needs to work together, or there is always a bottleneck holding something back.
I'm not putting you down... You just need to start using what little common sense you have instead of regurgitating what you believe to be fact.
