Yeah. give it eighteen years and we'll all be wondering how on earth did we survive with less than six teras of QTRAM, the next big thing after ram that uses quantum tunneling or whatever fancy thing. As for myself, i'm on a happy laptop with six gigs which chrome fills happily. If i open the same pages on my old laptop which has 2,5 gigs chrome fills those 2,5 gigs happily, for about the same performance and functionality. if i use the really old desktop with half a gig worth of ram in which i have running a pretty clean xfc-powered ubuntu installation, chrome eats that half a gig happily. I'm quite sure that if and when i buy a gamig desktop with 12 gigs or ram or whatever, chrome will eat *those* 12 gigs of ram quite happily. I'll die an old man with an absurdly light computer that has fourty-three terabytes of memory, and whatever browser i use will eat those fourty-three gigs quite merrily.

It is the way of the world per secula seculorum
