What is all this nonsense about 2GB/3GB of RAM? We all know Macs are cool. I have a few too. Both Windows XP and Macs are great machines, if you ask me. I am honestly curious how all hard-core Maccers are pushing their Macs to the limit. Do you photoshop/animate/calculate PI to the umpteen zillion decimal places? What kind of software uses 16GB of RAM? I really want to know if you are doing that on a daily basis.
Photo and video editing will chew through ram like it's going out of fashion, I suspect handling any large dataset whilst requiring more or less realtime input would be the same, so I would add to that music. Compiling large programs also tends to like RAM a fair bit as well.
The point in the thread discussing 16Gb was someone wanting to use ram dimms as a replacement for a hard drive. It was later pointed out that there are better alternatives to this out there already - hybrid drives or even solid state disks. Hell, even USB flash drives.

And what is all this trashing of a guy who wants to build the PPC board?
I'm guessing that you didn't read the bit where the initial poster stated that he would be doing it not from a tech drawing, or a schematic they'd aquired or made themselves, but from a
photograph.

Yes, lets let people come on here, with ludicrous plans about this that or the other, and not take the time to explain to them why it won't work, and suggest better alternatives (both of which has been done in this thread if you'd bothered to read it).
