Laughable. 4 gig was adequate in 2008, maybe.

This hits home. I'm working on a 2008 macbook that was (I guess) upgraded from 4gb to 8gb RAM when I bought it off of some guy.

It works for me to develop on though. But I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Heh. My on site machine is actually a 2008 Dell Optiplex 960, which had 4GB until I complained enough to max it out at 8GB.
