I have 1GB+ RAM on my main box and twice that in swap, and I seem to manage to run out of memory a few times a year. Virtual desktops are dangerous that way, and tabbed browsing is more so. As for history, yeah, give me the option to throw it out. And if I can have the ability to re-arrange tabs, I can manage most of the history myself... -- Would take a slow processor and oodles of RAM nearly any day of the week.
