You need a better imagination. My laptop is already at 10GB and I just started my day.
I run DAW.. on a project recently I was using 35GB of ram.

Actually 4-8GB is the sweet-spot. Even 8GB is overkill unless you have some specific niche needs.I think 32 GB is overkill but 16 GB is the sweet spot.
I'd say 8 GB is the sweet spot minimum if you multitask. 4 GB is a limiting for a main machine with a modern OS. However 16 GB is cheap these days so it doesn't hurt to get it. 32 GB is overkill for the vast majority of people though.Actually 4-8GB is the sweet-spot.

I haven't found a reason for more than 8GB outside of a professional use but this is an enthusiast website and sometimes maxing out a rig is just fun.
You probably don't see the need for a window or LED lighting in a case either.i can't imagine any program (aside from video editing & professional ones) needing more than 8gb, let alone 16gb, in 2013

:biggrin:I have 64GB of ram. I use it to run my bank of virtual floppy drives.
Some of you just weren't born hardcore like I was.
:thumbsup:Yes.
Doesn't mean I don't do some development and IT consultancy on the side + I do research, and I often need to develop the research tools myself.
