Video games have driven the need for hardware more than office work. Sadly games are already being scaled back and more time is being spent on optimization instead of content since consumers can't be expected to have the kind of RAM available they normally would and everyone will be forced to make do with whatever RAM they have for a long time.
That might not be the case. The kind of memory that will flood the second-hand market could not be the kind of memory we can stuff in laptops or even desktop systems.
Feast and famine.
In three years we will be swimming in more ram than we know what to do with.
Kind of feel that's already the case today... 4GB I find is still plenty for even business workloads.
