With Windows 7 and 8 I never use less than 8GB. 16GB if you're doing

You're obviously not on a normal laptop, then.

Shrug I normally find that the swapping stops at around 2 Gig. My
normal RAM usage on the netbook is just over a gig, unless I'm
transcoding video, and that program seems to have developed a memory
leak lately. As it's the same .exe file that worked well until recently,
it's probably a changed .dll in the rendering library.
