i don't think it makes loading time any faster
u just have more memory for u'r system, the loading time is still pretty much limited to how fast u'r HDD can transfere data, and u'r memory bandwidth for that mater, not its size.
From my own experience,256MB to 512MB of RAM makes alot of different in game loading time.But i dunno how the 2GB.So i assumed that more RAM will benefit in loading time and of course will make game run smoother.

more ram alone doesn't make a system any faster, its the system as a whole, not just a component.....it'll be pretty silly for a low end user to get 2Gig, because at the end of the day, the application he runs will be tone down so low that he barely need anything more than 1gig...u have to be running the currently greatest system which can handle a situation where the program will take more than 1 gig, then u'll be utilizing it.
And i agree with you that low end pc no need to use up to 2GB RAM la.Imagine a P3 with 2GB SDRAM(Just am example la,P3 cant support so much RAM),definately wont benefit the user but only 1 thing for sure he/she can open up many ie at the same time witout lacking of RAM.
