Out of curiosity, why would you need 64GB on a development machine?

Sure you can spin a few vms but your CPU will probably become a bottleneck long before you reach the 64gb limit.

This is a valid question. 32GB is more than enough for my needs today. It doesn't hurt to be able to upgrade though.

16 GB is more than you really need this days.
