I'd assume that might be because said 'weakest part' limits everything else?

Seriously. Games like MW3 use little RAM anyway. Almost every console game has to have incredible optimization or stuff textures in order to facilitate 30-60 FPS.
Your CPU and GPU in your computer just suck.
LeetZero:
RAM is only necessarily for handling multiple applications at once. I do believe having 4 GB or 2 GB of RAM on your computer would not change a thing to MW3.
GPU and CPU matters. And cooling, sorta.

NOPE! That's multiple CPU cores, which usually doesn't matter if you are single-tasking since most applications/games today are single-threaded (or almost single-threaded).
RAM matters for stuff like how many textures and other data can be loaded at once.
Fredulus:
do you even know what RAM does
