Memory is important, but I would say the more important aspects to running a game are your graphics card and your processor. I run a EVGA geforce 9800 GT, and I do just fine with 2gb's of ram. I run all of the games I play at max setting and I do just fine. Just make sure to have a good processor (at least core 2 duo) and a video card with 512 mb's of ram ( I suggest 9800 GT or higher, it only runs you about $90 these days). If you really have the dough, go out there and get the new gtx 470 or 480, newest nvidia cards. The Radeon HD 5870 is also a very nice cards, and for a single card setup it runs well.
I've had my ATI HD 4870s since Christmas 2008, and they run everything in about 100-300 fps. I do need a new processor though, because I record all sorts of stuff with Fraps. I'm looking at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202, it's a 2.66 ghz quad-core for pretty darn cheap. I don't want to praise it any more or this will seem like spam : (
Sounds crazy to buy new parts now. Wait till d3 is about to come out and check the system requirements they have released on their site to be sure. Also longer you wait the cheaper the parts are going to be.
