Large clusters of virtual machines for my work. I have VMs for every enterprise DB on the market that I used to use for testing my applications along with the million versions of the product configured for various clusters.

Alas, 24GB is not enough for what I currently work on, so it is all going to waste now.

If you are doing virtualization I can see why you need that level of ram,

LOL even 24Gb is not enough. maybe set some of the ram as data for windows to use when loaded.
