Where I live, machines with less than 3GB memory are being retired. No new server with less than 8GB is being ordered. The default workstation configuration includes 12GB memory on a Core-i7 930. OpenSolaris runs perfectly on a HPZ600 (24 threads, just 6GB at present...). I still manage to hold on a few old bangers, running mostly NetBSD-current (and even one Kayak with only 1GB memory, running Nevada-last...). This thread has only academic interest nowadays.
