What applications, if any, benefit tangibly from more than 4GB of RAM? [closed]

It's not really any single app using so much RAM, but the fact that you can run so many application simultaneously without paging the disk like crazy.


VMWare Workstation, VirtualBox...

And pretty much any type of virtualization solution. Massive, massive speed benefit from having loads and loads of RAM. I can run 2-3 VMs simultaneously on my desktop without any noticeable speed problems - quad core, 2.4ghz, 8GB RAM.

Also, RAM is cheap. Order more.
