It's getting kind of ridiculous. I have a few low-end devices running mostly WinRT stuff that only have 1-2GB of RAM. I don't use Skype, but Chrome will crush your memory. Also those news websites in Google News are so bad with the ads that they consistently crash the flash plugin with literally 2 tabs open and like 10 minutes on onsite time. I recently upgraded to 16GB of RAM in my desktop, but it wasn't for games or actual intensive processes, just websites. Kind of queer when you think about it.
