Pozdrawiam.

I suppose if you write bad enough code, you need that much linear
memory for essentially parallel tasks. But typical applications
don't.

Not bad code, just LOTS of graphics. Eye candy and graphics seems to
be what sells in video games for the most part, so I expect that we'll
see the data set for games continue to expand at a rather prodigious
rate.
