mouser:
Very nice find, thanks for sharing.  Bottom line of the article seems to be that 8gb is the sweet spot and makes a real difference over 4gb, but that 16gb doesn't yield much of an advantage over 8.

The line from the article, paraphrased.. once you have enough ram to run your programs more doesn't increase performance.. makes me think those guys who like to have 64 windows open and Firefox with 24 tabs, will still find use for 16 GB.  :)

I generally manage with 8 GB ram, thank you 8)

tomos:
^ although I'm usually the other way round - more FF tabs than open windows
