Most Core2Duos will not have an SSD, nor 8 GByte or even 4 GByte of memory.
People with more than 8G RAM are jaded. 4-8G is all an average mortal user needs, depending on whether he even knows that multitasking means. Those who have never been exposed to the benefits of SSDs are in a state of ignorant bliss, and haven't had to RMA 20% of their SSD acquisitions within two years of placed in service.
I use a light weight window manager and its pretty common for my browser on its own to be above 8GB, if you end up with an electron app or two which are pretty common these days then its pretty easy to be hitting 16 already. I don't think I could have a functioning desktop with under 32GB to not be occasionally hitting issues. Having said that my machines are currently comfortably sitting at 11Gb and 13Gb running mostly general desktop workloads atm. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
