Welcome from the world beyond 15GB RAM

Jeez man, I remember boasting about the size of my RAM about 20 odd years ago, and that was with QEMM! (Am I old or what?)

I remember going from 2 Meg RAM to 4 Meg RAM and costing me nearly $300! But that was only 15 years ago. Then I was impressed when my new boss said he just bought a UNIX server with 700 Meg RAM! We thought we were on top of the world!
I have nothing more to say.

I finally decided of 12 GB RAM for the new PC. I'm looking forward to it immensely. One more week... :-D

Yes. Do you remember how to low-level format a RLL or MFM hard drive?

At my last gig my dev machine had 16Gigs because I worked with huge databases and .net processes that used 8-20Gigs of memory. That was interesting to say the least. The production servers had up to 128Gigs.

My first 20MB hard drive cost me $700. 1MB of RAM was $1000, and you had to plug all the chips into the motherboard one at a time. If you wanted faster integer math, you had to buy /install a math coprocessor (8081 or 80x87) at $700 a pop - necessary until the 586 chips started to show up

Nice, you got me beat by 4 GB :) I run 4 LCDs, all busy with stuff all the time. Wish I could post a screenshot of my desktop for those who don't see the "need" for so much RAM :)

Mostly for VM's. Nice to allocate 3G here and 4GB there and still have 9 left :) Oh, and Sharepoint 2010 development. 4GB just dont cut it.

Sharepoint and development! Are you seriously serious?

I have been doing stuff with it for over a month, and I am still asking myself that question. I think we are using it wrong :) They say Sharepoint is the new Access, perhaps if used that way it is good, but we use it as a glorified web frontend really...

Sharepoint.Intranet.Employer.com is much better than Legacy.Intranet.Employer.com, as I'm reminded every time I have to access something that isn't converted yet; this alone is reason to sing it praise.

I have nothing more to say.
I used to sell 16KB of dynamic RAM chips for the Apple II that cost $600. The first terabyte storage unit I ever saw was at the '84(?) Comdex in Chicago and it was the size of two refrigerators (one upright and one on its side) that was basically a jukebox for 12" laserdiscs and cost $1.2 million. I'm looking to be the first on my block with a petabyte online.

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997Sorry to boast, but my PC has two internal hard drives, both 459GB's (Total 918GB's) If that's not enough room, I can always plug in my external hard drive into one of the USB ports. The only time I need this much room is if I save lots of long videos as AVI files.

Wow what do you need all that for? I still find 3 GB plenty on my home machine (tho a little more may be nice occasionally for running more VMs).
Minimum requirements as recommended by MS: 2 GB for Windows 7 64 bit +1 GB for Win32 compatibility mode +2 GB for VS 2010 for W7 64 bit That's 5 GB before adding tools, office suite, and of course the projects you're developing. Now if you want a similar VM setup as a developing sandbox, multiply by 2 and you'll find that even 16 GB will not last you for long...
