It is surprising that they didn't I install Big Sur, but meh. I have 64GB of RAM and you have 8GB :P

64GB sounds like the correct amount of RAM for a guy with...adequacy concerns. Can you also raise it and install a gun rack in the rear window? Maybe hang a pair of iBalls from the bumper? :D

The upper 62 gigs of RAM on that thing are going to see about as much action as the rev limiter in Billy's Honda.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Hey. All those programs and plugins that the porn sites helpfully send me eat up quite a bit of memory. Chrome will suck up at least 26G for me.

Seriously though, I used to think the same thing for my work desktop with it's odd 68GB of RAM, but it's running at 27GB now and I've pushed it up to 53 running more Docker instances that should be allowed.

Now boys! Let's not get into comparing how big someone's RAM is. What is this RAM you speak of?

Your confusion is endearing, Billy.

So now I REALLY want a new i7 gaming rig with a shitload of RAM that gets REALLY shitty gas mileage. Maybe the new 6000 SUX...
