Just a thought, and i'd welcome opinions and experiences:
Is a standard home desktop (or laptop) computer going to benefit from more than 4GB of RAM?
I ask this because of the relative low prices of RAM, and with 64 bit OSes now seeming without any driver issues or other things that plagued such OSes in the past it's an easy process to add more as needed.
But is it needed? I have 6GB in my system and honestly couldnt tell you if there is a single jot of benefit over 4GB.
My system has iTunes with a large library (30k+ songs, I know certain Hexites have much more) which may benefit in theory, but i'm not sure. Games? V. unlikely. Image editing? Personally i tend to use Paint.net and GIMP, and only use 1 image at a time, nothing complex.
How about you guys? Do we actually just have more because we can?![]()

). However we're at the point now where 4GB is the pricing sweet spot, so there's little point not putting 4GB in a new build. 

SQL does benefit from being able to cache as much of your db in memory as possible - when dealing with 100Gb+ databases it really benefits from the extra sticks.
