Great, so it'll take AI to set 16GB as minimum.
I still shudder that there are machines still being sold with 8GB RAM, that's just barely enough.
- It's honestly crazy to think about that we used to say the same about 4GB only 5-7 years ago...
  And the same about 2GB a measly 10 years ago...
  5 years ago I used to think 32GB was great. Now I regularly cap out and start page filing doing my normal day-to-day work on 48GB. It's crazy now.
