Perspective is important Bob.  25 of 512 meg chips are certainly less than
$1200.  Installation is maybe... 20 minutes each? Do all 25 machines in one
day probably, 2 days for sure.

Now, free coffee for 25 programmers is at least a dollar a day, each?  Say,
$100/week?

So, the new RAM is about the price of 3 months of free coffee?  In return
the PCs boot faster, run lots faster, fail less often, and the programmer's
stride isn't broken while s/he sits and waits for a groggy screen.

Looked at that way, RAM is cheap.

$30 to $40 isn't strickly accurate--perhaps for 256 Meg you can get it at
$59 or so (plus or minus $10). But a company with say 25 developers would be
about $2500 + the labor to install it, figure what, another $500... so
that's a $3000 expense. If you could send someone to COMMON or RPG World
would you do that or add the extra memory to the PC's?

>but the Eclipse IDE is a RAM hungry beast.
 
Just for example, I check how much memory Eclipse (WDSc) is using every once
in a while and it pretty much stays at the 175 -200MB range almost all the
time. So you can see why you would want at _least_ 512MB (that is what I
have and I want to upgrade). Memory is so stinkin cheap now adays that it
shouldn't be a problem. Just watch for deals at your local Best Buy and you
can pick up 512MB of RAM for $30-$40.
