Last night I twittered a comment that some of you may have seen, along

"couple
of gigs"? When I think of servers, that's what I think for
"required storage". 512MB of RAM should be enough for *everybody*,
including servers.
Ok, 1GB RAM for those servers that host multi-luser make-believe games.
You underestimate how quickly badly-written applications grab RAM as
they fail to scale up gracefully.
