It's only a matter of time before the norm will be a GB of cache and half a
TB of DRAM ... and, of course, 768 TB of HD space. <sigh> now if we could
just get the software folks to leave out what's not necessary, including the
bugs.

Mac's. It's for the same reason that some people put that much in
thier PC's. It's not the OS, it's the Apps. When you're working with
50MB+ graphics files with multiple layers in Adobe Photoshop it helps to
have lots of RAM. The same thing is true if you're doing Audio (and I
would assume video work).
Yep. I have 128MB in my 7300, which is not enough because I have to turn
virtual memory off to get good video throughput from the capture board. I a lot of multimedia work on it. 256MB would be better
if the price point
weren't as prohibitive as it is.
