I'm switching to Mac this Christmas, and I had a question or two about RAM. On PC, more than 512 RAM is rarely ever genuinely needed, I've noticed. On Macs, do programs just use up a lot more RAM, or do people simply buy this extra RAM in excess when they really don't need it? (I don't mean video programmers and stuff of this nature since such programs obviously need more RAM, I mean I've noticed the average person seems to like more than 512, even though 256 is the 'default.') Thanks.
