2GB is a nice environment for Ubuntu. It can run pretty much entirely in RAM and will be quite quick, thanks.

I can only imagine what it would be like to have a 16GB RAM machine. I could run all NSA's computers.

I did say 16
megabytes of RAM for the machine mentioned in an earlier post.
You can get machines with 16GB RAM. At a prior employer, our server of choice was a 1u Dell rackmount with dual Xeon CPUs and 32GB RAM. We ran CentOS under VMWare, and they were good performers.
You can get machines with 6-8 GB running Wi7/8. Whether you need that much will depends on what you do. (If you do video editing or make extensive use of Photoshop, you probably
do need that much...)
