For a Home PC yes... For a video enthusiant and or photographer or graphic designer or architect or...... 8Gigs is awesome!

I still think 8 GBs is a waste regardless of what the user does on his home PC.

i do too, when in the world will you ever need 8GB worth of apps open? Its just a waste of money

I'll hold you to that one!

[Lost Soul]

8 gigs is alot,,

[WolfX2]

how did we get from the topic or "the most expensive PC" to how much random access memory is alot. lets stay on topic for now on!

The most expensive would be the supercomputers, but regarding PC-architecture computers...

Their "4.2GHz" CPU is just a 3.6 that's been overclocked; I have a P4 HT that's running at 4.17, so 4.2GHz isn't impossible. Their solid-state hard drives are commonly encountered on high-performance servers. Their systems are simply overclocked regular machines with hardware RAM disks and other minor enhancements. It still doesn't justify the price though.

The most expensive PC? Then I can get an Athlon 64 FX57 OC'ed to 3.5 ghz! Even at 2.6 ghz, it would likely whoop a Pentium 4 a 4.2 ghz!

The most expensive PC would be the good ol' 8086 back in the 80's!!!

That PC was 'fresh'* back then... HAHAHA


*fresh = 80's term

Didnt you mean to say. If i was spending 20k on a computer, it wouldnt be an Apple

[deathwarder]

lets see, 4 raptors 10000rpm with an Iram 4gig, Amd's new 4x4 AM2 platform with two fx62's, 4gigs of dual channel ram with heatspreaders, quad sli with the 7950, some very expensive am2 4x4 motherboard, ageia physx, new soundblaster or whatever.

[Maleko]

8Gigs?
Give it a few years and people will be saying, I need Another 2Gigs to make my game work.

Games will say: Recommended Specs: 8GBs Ram...

4BG RAM ?
4 64 bits processors ? It's only 1GB per processor!
Did you know 512MB on 32 bits systems lets you store as much data as 768MB on 64 bits systems ?

In fact, you should take 16GB.

i saw this invoice once, for a server for WorldMark. The total cost was $3,610,264. This is the kind of server that you run WalMart on.
Here is the link click here to see it.

Wow, those gotta be the fastest PC:s ever, but really is there need for 8gigas of RAM? ;D I have 512MB and worked fine till now, but some extra ram would be needed, maybe 2GB. ^^

It depends. Perhaps you have no use for 8GB on your desktop PC, but I could use that no problem (VMWare Server + several OS'es running heavy-ish processes and virtual appliances, databases, you name it). I couldn't live with just 512, my PC with the least RAM has 1.5GB (and I wish it had 4)

Err... sdram?... lol, i'm guessing by that stature of your comment about the ram just for the video... gddr3 is better than sdram on any graphics card wether it be a quadro or not!
