The worts thing is antivirus software. i have 8gb but i want 16gb. This wold be for hosting servers. Its the video RAM that lets me down, 1/2 a gb

Its the video RAM that lets me down, 1/2 a gbWith all of my programs running i have about 70% memory usage. So there is no way you are using that much ram for those small programs. Then again im not sure about macs.And video ram has a very small role in how fast or powerful your video card is, more video ram =/= a faster card. 512mb of video ram should be fine as long as you aren't using a monitor bigger than 22 inches.

Also Xcode is pretty RAM intensive, as far as i know.And i am using a 21.5 inch LED backlit with 1920x1080 pixels.

Anyway, ya if you are running at 1080 it is good to have 1gb video ram.
