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!

(DE: Frei nach "Hubraum ist durch nichts zu ersetzen als Hubraum.")

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."
