How much virtual memory does your computer have?

I wonder how many programmers today have any experience with the
judicious use of virtual memory. PC users almost always buy enough
physical memory to satisfy all their apps, and with 32 bit machines
that was cheap and easy.
There will probably also be a learning curve as todays' programmers
find out what "judicious use" means w.r.t. multiple CPUs.

Yes indeed. Actually my comment was meant with a little sarcastic twist. ;-)
