4G is more than enough RAM for any reasonable home use computing application and you gamers are just wasting resources. All you deserve is a RAM slot powered LED daughter board.
There is no non capitalist reason why every home computer can't have 64GB of RAM or more.
That’s nonsense. I regularly use over 16 gb on my machine working on personal projects. Not to mention if I want to add web browsing, music, or call somebody at the same time lol.
Lol what? If you want to do any sort of image processing or 3d work you regularly need upwards of 20 gigs unless you want to be hammering spinning rust as you swap for 20 years.

the loud mechanical noises mean it's thinking.
Programmers (and more OS and browsers) are very wasteful too. I won't pretend there were no improvements in software features but you could do all of that with a quarter of that.
