Sony now sells many desktop computers with 512MB of DRAM. 128MB is sufficient for most uses. In my experience only software development tools (especially Microsoft's bloatware) will benefit from having more than 256MB.

You're obviously not pirating your quota of mp3's or downloading enough porn. Get with it, help create the need for internet 2 so all these techs can have a savior to look forward to. It's non-band/storewidth pikers like you that caused this bubble to burst.
