The more ram the better for audio! Loading big soundfonts is easier with more
ram (try loading a 3gig piano-font into 1gig of ram). Caching more
audio-tracks is easier with more ram (and thus gives you more cycles
available for effects)...

RAM can't be substituted by anything else then RAM!

And that "ought to be enough for everybody" is a funny reference. Like that
famous (incorrect citation) "I think the world will be saturated with 5
computers."
