At least, having a lot of memory lets you open many RAM-hungry apps at the 
same time. I can have FinalRender gobbling memory to render a huge scene and 
still be able to edit images with Photoshop while having Firefox opened with 
lots of tabs etc. Also, there are many professional applications where more 
RAM = bigger whatever is the goal of the application. I'm working with 
linear programming for instance, and more RAM = larger models.
