As I said, on my linux boxen I have no problem with RAM. They're fast and responsive. I have machines with up to 32 GB at hand (and dual octocore CPUs) but really, for a dev workstation a dual core with 2 gigs and 2 24" screens is more than enough to me, I never waited for gvim to open or anything. OTOH my Mac with 2 GB feels slower everyday. Frankly, I simply decided that my next laptop will be a linux PC instead of a Mac, now that there are credible PC alternatives like the Asus Zenbook Prime (a few years ago Mac laptops were so far ahead it wasn't even worth trying).
