The funny/sad part is web browsers alone (I believe) have experienced the most growth in RAM usage, compared to many other categories of software. Hell, even Outlook still uses only 50-100MB. So if you wanted to use the box for anything other than web browsing...

Edit: oh, I forgot about flash. Earlier today Firefox with one tab was hovering at 400MB and flash was at 200MB.
