Just curious what workload maxes out your desktop box at home and what 
workload at work benefits especially from 1GB+ memory?

I was skeptical about buying my new machine with only 256M, but it was a 
bargain, and the seller discounted it even more for the price of the 
additional memory.  Now that I've used it a few weeks, I find that relatively 
little swap is used and most everything is quite responsive, even using kde.

Someday, when money is a little more plentiful, I'll bump up the memory, but I 
can't say that I miss it at the moment.
