Lol, thats what I was saying, Workstations at work have 2 24" Wides, and even when they are a foot and a half in front of me I gotta move my head.
He will soon realize it will suck if he gets them for a home system with a normal sized desk.

I have two 24in screens at my home and they do not take up as much room as you guys think. I use them for my DAW's when producing music.
BTW, 16gb of RAM? How do you plan on utilizing all of that?

Are they regulars or widescreens?
Remember when everyone said you will never need anything over 1GB? Now they say you wont need anything over 8GB....soon it will be 16GB.
Do I think he will honestly need that much within the next 3 years? No.... but its cool to say you have 16 GB of ram, lol.

They're widescreens, but remember none of you defined what the size of a "normal" desk is either.
Also note that by the time 16gb of RAM are REQUIRED the rest of the system will be obsolete.
lol..typo.24" widescreen.
i want 16gb because im using most of the 4gb i got. shit, i seen servers using 32gb of ram
i am using ubuntu and working on using OSX on a partition not VM.
osx keeping crashing on me and im trying to work out the kinks(it doesn't like the core I5). i can post a how to on building a hackint0sh if you guy want. it will cost about $500 for a hackint0sh(using a q6600) and will out do most of the macs on the market today.

I've seen servers eat up more memory than that. I assumed this was an at home desktop and not a server.

I've seen servers with more; and that is the thing. They are servers.
How do you figure you are using most of 4 GB? You have to be running a LOT of shit.
If you are building a DDR3 system, that shit isn't cheap. I would go 8GB max, and put the money to better use.

i have a ram monitor in the tray and ive been doing some editing and it was close to 85% of ram usage...well ima try the 8gb and see how it works out
DDR3 are getting cheaper as the days go by.
