This is almost an academic question, but how much RAM is too much? I've got 8gb in my system at the moment, but with the ridiculously low prices I can get another 8gb for less than $40. While it's fun to have larger numbers purely for e-penis, how much typically gets used? Obviously it depends what you're doing but what sort of level are you maxing out with modern games for instance? Are they using up like 2gb and the OS 0.5gb and then antivirus and various background programs another 0.5gb? Or can they take advantage of 6gb, 8gb and more?
