Don't be silly, you can *NEVER* have enough RAM. Use it as a RAM disk if you have "too much," but more is always better. I don't want to feel the need to ever close any program I open. In fact, if you need a pagefile at all, you don't have enough for your needs.

You need that much to run Vista's bloatware. :-P

What? No love for the Vista haters?

Just wondering why you would need an excess of 4 gig of system memory for anything other than a file server.

There is a very big upgrade market now for high density dram with 8gb being common place for laptops and 16gb(4 ram slot motherboards) and 24gb (for 6 slot nehalem motherboards) . Also 128 gb and 256/512gb SSDs need lot of flash as they become mainstream so good times for dram/flash.

That is a pretty big "if".
