We built out our company VDI with 8gb because "windows needs 4 and office needs 4".

Somehow.. somehow.. everyone needed an upgrade.

I haven't ordered anything less than 16 in 9 years. 8 is shit, 4... Throw that thing in the dumpster if you can't increase the RAM.

Meanwhile my old server was happy chugging along on 256MB for many many years

Mines happy running at 32GB. But I'm running ZFS on it...

Yeah I considered buying a personal Mac a few times but when 8 gb of extra RAM is at the price it is on an already overpriced machine... I just can't justify it.
