Quidco charge a fiver a year - good if you use it a lot.

I use TopCashBack which is free. Here is my referrer URL (would be rude for me not to post it!)

In case you've not done it before - you sign up, then find ebuyer, click the "get cashback" button and then just buy as normal from the ebuyer site. It usually takes a day or so to track, and mine paid out in around a month. Occasionally it wont track and you submit a claim which takes a little longer.
Not bad for a few minutes work.

I'm honestly not questioning the fact that graphics s/w can require a lot of RAM. But the fact is that 4GB is a ~lot~ of RAM.

My point is that I have never actually observed a PC with more than 4GB in use at any one time, and I doubt anyone else here has either.

My system is currently using 21% of the 12GB, and this is just with Outlook, VNC Viewer and Firefox loaded. If I load up some applications I use all day it easily reaches 37%

I've just closed back the original "idle" few applications and have 12250 total RAM, 2832 cached, 9404 available, 6695 free.

If I only had 4GB of ram right now I'd be working slower. You could argue that I don't need all these things open, but when RAM is so very cheap there's no reason to work slower. Word 2010 takes under 2 seconds to load the second time. Photoshop CS5 takes 4 seconds the 2nd time. Windows 7 caches a lot of the components in RAM so I get less time to twiddle my fingers and thumbs. :beer:

The only way I can cause it to happen on mine is to set up multiple virtual machines in Virtualbox, each with 1GB of reserved RAM, and then run them all at the same time - but that's not actually ~using~ that much memory, just preventing other apps from using it.

My own machine has 4gb of RAM. Using photo editors to edit 1200dpi 6x4" photographs soon makes short work of that.
