Why the fuck do people have 16gb+ of ram? Why not just have 8gb and then create a swap partition/page file for another 8gb? Why waste over $200 on overpriced colluded ram when your spare hard drive space is basically free potential ram?

It's useful if you run shit in vms or if you use more than one tab in chrome/Firefox :^)

For using Gentoo and compiling everything in tmpfs, of course.

Because I do actual work on my PC, user.

16 GB of DDR3 costs around $120, not $200
