For a Home PC yes... For a video enthusiant and or photographer or graphic designer or architect or...... 8Gigs is awesome!

I still think 8 GBs is a waste regardless of what the user does on his home PC.

i do too, when in the world would a computer user, using xp, home, pro, MCE or even if they were useing windows vista, have 8GB worth of apps open? Its just a waste of money

The most expensive would be the supercomputers, but regarding PC-architecture computers...

Their "4.2GHz" CPU is just a 3.6 that's been overclocked; I have a P4 HT that's running at 4.17, so 4.2GHz isn't impossible. Their solid-state hard drives are commonly encountered on high-performance servers. Their systems are simply overclocked regular machines with hardware RAM disks and other minor enhancements. It still doesn't justify the price though.
