I have 1.5 and 2Gb on two machines and Linux is far too efficient to require all of that. I have been considering set aside some to use as a ram drive, but it hasn't been quite what I expected.
Firstly, does anyone use a ram drive and have a generic use for one? Secondly, my understanding was that the tmpfs file system would automatically create a ram drive which would resize up to a maximum percentage of the total memory and then swap when required, but I found mine had a fixed value of around 64M
