play pacman?
to be honest, why would you need it?

Personally I use mine for writing code and compiling (so compilation would 
take like a nano second), and for PCb design (routing also wouldn't take 
very long).
Also, I don't trust the power supply in this country to be good enough to 
use *just* memory for everything. give me 2 terrabytes of raid disk, and 
I'll stuff my MP3s on it..
