Remember, Bill Gates said at one time that a home PC would never need more than 640 kb of RAM. The reason we have dual/quad core CPU's and 2+ GB of RAM is because the software requires it. Why does the software require such "horsepower?" Because the hardware folks love it. It's all about getting my money. Software folks could write much tighter code for PC games. But they never will. They will always release a Beta for $55 or so and patch it later. Oh, new game is out! Yay! I'll buy a new vid card! It's a joke. Tight code, for an example, Greeting cards that sing. Windows Vista? Like a huge, fly-through asshole. Pardon me, have to order another two Gigs of Ram from New-Egg.
