He needs at least a few of those to take over the world. Those interactive "map of the globe" (flat and 3D like the death star in Episode III) REALLY suck the memory. Plus, he'll need to use dashboard to check the weather while doing so, listen to iTunes music and burn is PowerPoint DVD entitled "My Plan to Take Over The World."
I'd say he needs at least 1TB of RAM.
That kind of the computer will not be called as Personal Computer and also any memory vendor will be so welcome to him to "donate"!
In 1981, Bill Gates said, "640 KBytes is all any application should ever need."
In the 1950s, an IBM white paper concluded that no application would ever need more than 8K of memory. In the 1940s, IBM concluded that the number of computers needed to satisfy worldwide demand was five.
From the 1940s until the 1970s, memory prices held fairly steady at about $1/byte.

In 1850, showing someone a MacBook from 2007 would make that person's head explode. In fact, showing them a light bulb might do the same.
The point is, of course they'll come a time where 64G of RAM is normal. It will probably happen pretty quickly, actually...5 years or less I would think. But did we fast forward to that time? No. There is no need for that kind of RAM right now. No user or application could use that much right now, even if the machine could address it.

Actually, Film and TV composers today would love a single machine with 64 GB of ram so that they did not have to use so many multiple machines to address the HUGE sample libraries that are currently available. To have a virtual orchestra in one machine rather than spread across several machines is a media composer's wet dream.

Didn't Bill gates say that no one will ever need more than 64GB of RAM?
