Where would one find the ram requirements for the projects?

Right now there is a sweet spot for RAM on projects...
It is dictated not by what each cpu core can handle...
Instead it is the simple fact that 1600Mhz DDR3 RAM comes in either 2Gb or 4Gb chips. The 4Gb chips cost over $70 a piece while 2Gb chips cost just $30, or less.
You should buy 1600Mhz DDR3 because newer generations of cpus from Intel and AMD will support these speeds. The memory can be reused in multiple machines as a result or even sold two years from now due to its broad compatibility.
I am running into this problem with my AMD G34 that has 16 memory slots... trust me, my wallet cannot handle $70 x 16 and still buy a nice NVIDIA GTX 590!
Just another little goldfish... steamrollin the competition one project at a time!

Seems those memory reults are an average, meaning it could take more, or less, depending on which WU you're handed. ORE is stating about 2GB/core average. I'll agree with that since it was until 2 days ago i began having memory problems. Also, BURP is listed as 5GB across all cores, but Zombie67 knows it can be far more than this. Just keep an eye on things
I believe that to be true, 1gb per core will do 75% of the projects, 2gb per core will do 95% of the projects. that last 5% will basically use all your MB can use and in some cases more then possible. If someone has 6gb per core more power to them but my recommendation is 2gb per core. You can't run BURP then you cant run BURP but dose the BURP credit justify the extra $150 per core? that's 500k credits a day on PG in video card or 400k a day on milkyway.

My men...
...I don't seem to understand the concern over RAM these days. Can anyone show me a project that actually delivers GOOD CREDIT that needs so much? Like I said, I've got one rig with 8GB and one with 4GB, both DDR3 1600 O/Ced, and there hasn't been a lick of difference...
...and I think this point of view is relevant, because who really wants to run a crap paying project, and therefore let SIC kick our behinds that much faster anyway?
