Now that RAM is as cheap as chips it's not uncommon to see those with far too much money to be sporting large amounts of RAM.. Is all this RAM actually needed though and does it get used?
Toms Hardware decided to find out...

Not to surprised at the conclusions from this article.
Depending on your use & requirements, 3-4GB should be plenty for the average user on both 32 & 64bit rigs.
