[ale] Desktop 32GB of RAM

[Jim Kinney]

+1 on the ram disk! Great for readonly databases :-)

Unless you're running HUGE graphic files through gimp or editing video, 32G
is not going to get used.

However, chrome will cache the entire interwebs and borg into the
collective search engine so get 64G  _MINIMUM_if you plan to (get) use(d
by) chrome.
