Want a PC With 192 GB of RAM?
ericatcw writes "Do you love the smooth, silky performance of a multi-core PC loaded to the gills with the fastest RAM? Take a look at Dell's new Precision T7500 desktop. According to Computerworld, the T7500 will come with 12 memory slots that can accommodate 16 GB of PC-106000 (1333 MHz) DDR3 RAM for a total of 192 GB. Dell's not the only one — Lenovo, Cisco (with blade servers reportedly up to 384 GB in memory) and Apple are all bringing out computers that leverage Intel's new Nehalem architecture to enable unprecedented amounts of RAM. But beware! Despite the depressed DRAM market, loading up on memory could see the cost of RAM eclipse the cost of the rest of your PC by 20-fold or more."

Eclipse + VMWare ... you'll love every bit above 4G.
I like to run a 64-bit version of Python and make a really big list. Or, you can run Java programs (for a while) with GC disabled.
But Windows will still push the Java app out to the swap file, and load all the Microsoft apps installed on your system into memory, just in case you want them.
If someone is passing you on the right, you are an asshole for driving in the wrong lane.
