[QUOTE="mmoy, post: 125579, member: 9872"] I could use 1.5 GB on my Windows notebook as I run enough applications to sometimes go over the 1 GB of memory in the machine and even two would help if I could find a free RamDisk. I think that disk cacheing in OSX (and Unix in general) is very efficient and that having a huge amount of memory could help if you were doing a lot of disk accesses but I'd guess that the average desktop uses aren't demanding in that area. I don't envision an application that will require us to need more than 1 GB at the moment though I think that it's pretty easy to add more on the PowerMac if some application does come up that's memory hungry.
