i've got 16Gig of RAM and FG will easily (or has in the past) eaten 10+Gig and lead my system into swap space where everything crawls... especially on long flights around the world without exiting or stopping... the last time this happened, it took me over 10 minutes to kill the FG task... why? because the system was so slow and it took minutes to even change from one screen to another...
my recommendation comes from the fact that the OS needs some of that RAM for its operation so there's less then 8Gig available for other programs... there's also that winwhatever loves to run programs and ""hide"" them in the system tray... folks think that's just a quick link area but it is actually running programs so there's more memory consumed and we haven't even started FG yet... these days, there is similar with linux and mac as well...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
