I got only 1 Gig of RAM, but you reach that one pretty fast (Last time 
it was a rather simple fractal). I'm sure if you throw in some large 
meshes 4 Gig are not far away.

Would be interesting how much memory the clients of Pixar's and 
Dreamwork's render farms got, but a quick google did not reveal anything...
