Out of curiosity, why do you care about the amount of RAM available on a
dyno?

I generally run either delayed job workers or web processes on Heroku's
dyno grid; I don't have any general-purpose compute loads that require
gigabytes of RAM yet, but if I did, I'd probably look for either a hosting
provider that specialized in running the type of process that needs so much
memory (e.g. a database), or start thinking about buying compute power
lower down the stack (EC2/colo).

Maybe your needs are different than mine, though?
