Bob, I will always disagree with anybody who says more RAM is overkill or anything similar to that. Since programs run in RAM, if you tend to have 6-7 programs running, you are increasing the demand for a swap operation that eats CPU cycles. As it is I have a hard drive dedicated for JUST the swap file. I don't want my system using the C drive for virtual RAM. And even on the 64 GB computer I run a lot of programs at once and want to keep the swap operation to a minimum. There is a lot of misunderstanding in the general public about RAM and swapping to virtual RAM.

Right now on a "nothing" sort of day I have 2 browsers running, a word pro and a spreadsheet program, and 2 video camera monitoring software.

I am actually thoroughly amazed at how many people don't know what RAM REALLY does. Just like how people think their hard drives are "memory". Man I used to make a lot of money off people like that!!
