Since I'm not rendering video, I could probably go back to my old Athlon 750 with 256MB RAM and it would be fine.
What kind of bloatware do you guys run where it matters anymore? Hell my phone is more powerful than my first few servers.

8GB of RAM? For what, reading email and posting? I guess Windows now takes a couple GB just to boot, so I can see maybe having 4GB to get the same performance Linux provides on 2GB, but what's the point of 8GB or more on a desktop?
