I wouldn't say that 24GB is enough, no way. It depends always on type of thing you use your computer for. For a normal user who installed windows and recently plays games, 24GB might be more than enough. For almost any kind of developer this might be also more than enough, in the end this developer develops for an end-user, which used not to have much RAM.

However, I am a scientist, and my machine at work has 96GB RAM with 24Cores, so at the end it comes to around 2GB/Core, which isn't that much anymore. In order to run algorithms on big data and not to bother about disk accesses (SSD or not) more RAM is just crucial. My previous machine had only 8GB ram and it was a big problem to stress algorithms with big data sets on them. So in my case, there are never enough RAM ;)

For the average consumer, I think 4gb is more than enough Ram, they don't need anywhere near 24gb. I wonder what percentage of the computer market is scientists who need the massive processing power yours does?
