Chris, To me the big deal was in issuing VO commands, I use the Item chooser, and hotspots a great deal, and in projects with 20 or more tracks the windows can often have 6 to 800 different items in the chooser. Upgrading to 16gb took the item chooser from what was often a fairly long wait to almost instant. Same with my MBP.
