I run applications, and it still rarely exceeds 6 gigs. Damn, my ram is mostly disk cache at this point

Yeah, I'm with you there, but I'm also a believer in having a little more ram than you need. After a couple of decades of feeling that occasional bottleneck it seems like a relatively cheap prevention measure.

Same. Have 32 just in case I need a windows VM or something.
