What are you putting in those tabs? I frequently have 50+ tabs open in Chrome and rarely get to more than about 1GB total. Sometimes some long running web apps will leak enough (Gmail, I'm looking at you...) to bring a single tab up in the 100-200MB+ range, but that's rare.

Chrome uses some absolutely amazing 4-500MBs per tab. Had this box had less than 12GBs, I would rather be using the Firefox 4 betas.

Regular newspapers, facebook, reddit, hacker news, xkcd and dilbert.
That's about it.
