To address the core purpose of your query, I always fill up a new
computer with as much memory as it will take. If you keep you
computers for a long time, as I do, the memory gets difficult to find
and expensive.
Since disk I/O is the slowest portion of current computers, the more
of the recently used programs or documents the operating system can
retain in RAM, the faster the computer responds.
My advice: buy the memory.
