Maybe I just want to have multiple applications running in parallel. At the work I may have 10 Visual Studio solutions open, three remote connections via RDP, stupid Lotus Notes (sh*t IBM software but unfortunately it is our email solution), few browser instances and some utils including TortoiseSVN, possibly checking out multiple repositories at once. None of them are particularly demanding but with all that stuff together I would appreciate having more RAM than just 4 GB.

I can't get away with less than 8 gigs on my work machine.

Thing is, with Amiga 32 bit does not provide GB RAM aviailability. Bit 32 is taken aready, leaves two GB only and from that parts are also not available for RAM. On MorphOS teh limz is actually 1.5 GB on OS4 a bit higher (1.8???) and on AROS I currently don't know.
And less than 2 GB is an issue. My Mac mini with 1 GB runs quite often out of RAM, my Powerbook with 1.5 GB is a bit better, butsometimes I use it all. Hence, te more the merrier. Indeed I guess on Amiga 4 GB would be comfortable for  acouple of years, but that changes. 32 bit limit is annoying.

Aros is 3.5 or 3.8 gigs iirc.  Aros64 I have tested with 32 Gigs only screenshotted when it was in a 24 Gig VM though.
