And ofcourse gonna have 2 gigs of RAM.

Genesis, have you ever seen your machine maximise the use of the memory it has? it can eat off the 1gb?

Try opening WoW and then alt+tabbing...thats when u need the extra gig...yea i know u gonna say a lotta ppl wont do this, but lets think of 2 other resource heavy actions and see if they dont grab ur proccessing speeds and ram usage. g. Dvd encoding and 3d Rendering
