Alright I am trying to save as much money as I possibly can on the new computer I am building and I was wondering... If I have a 9800 pro graphics card, and an athlon 64 3000+ how big of a deal is 512 mb pc3200 ddr400 ram vs 1 gig on everyhting plus games like doom 3 and unreal 2k, half life 2 etc? I could also go with 512mb at first thn add on later. the problem is I am not going to have enough money for a monitor for a little awhile if I go with 1 gig and would have to use an old small one for the time being. Anyways I want your opinions on how necessary 1 gig is over 512mb and if it is really necessary then I guess I'll wait so I can also get a better monitor. Thanks!
