OT: Too much RAM ?

Hi all, this some kind of Off-Topic since it has nothing to do with LFS at all. I send this to this list because I know that there are quite a lot geeks and experienced people out there who may have a hint for me. Have you ever seen a machine which has too much RAM installed? We have a brand new
