IDE, OpenOffice, Browser, email client, shell and window manager. That's it. The big ones are the first three and X windows.
I run exactly those apps on a computer with 2 gigs of RAM and never really had any problems.
We are probably doing different things with our applications.
Out of curiosity, how do you manage to make an IDE, Open Office and a browser eat through 12 gigs of RAM?
The stable version of Chrome leaks memory like crazy on Linux. I was frequently using over 1gb according to about:memory and have seen it use up to 3gb. 6.0.495.0 dev seems to be better about it.
It's really not that hard. One fair sized project and a bunch of browsers with tabs. It surprises me very much how much RAM that gobbles up.
I'm not even testing stuff with VMs right now, as soon as I get in to that I have to shut down the IDE at a minimum or I'll hit the swap.
