let's be more honest and say 4GB of RAM and dual 64-bit procs I am beginning to think that ZFS is a feature of Vista because it seems to eat all available RAM endlessly. My snv_52 machine here has a zpool on it and a few ZFS filesystems. No one is logged in graphically, there is one user, me. I'm doing nothing.
