We are getting a new computer for work and its going to have 64gb of memory, is that slightly overkill?

Whats the biggest amount that you guys have seen in a computer?
 
64mb is most certainly not overkill. 64gb is.

Edit: well actually I suppose it depends what it's used for. For servers and the like, I can imagine it being useful. Also, if you want to be running a whole mess of virtual machines on there, lots of RAM could help.
 
Used to build servers a few years back that were capable of 128gb and took a hole weekend just to memtest lol

only for server as business use can go up to max 128GB but for home use with desktop version only between 4GB <> 24GB (Intel 1366 now max at 24GB and some of AMD max to 8<>16GB -- Gigabyte motherboard for AMD max is 16GB) so 64GB for home use are not yet until few years time.

You dont need large RAM such as 64GB for home use - it too much.

One of my colleagues is currently building an IBM P595 for a client, it's got 768GB of memory installed (out of a max of 2TB).

It'll be split up in to various partitions.
