I've got 24GB on my MacPro at work,



This was taken shortly after a restart so not too many things open.

I was also running a VM Ware session with 4 GB of RAM. When I'm not running windows, free RAM is usually @ 7 GB.

The original poster said they did this on a machine with only 4GB of RAM.

Pretty interesting observation, if proven to be reliable.
