It was very tempting and (at least where hi-tech toys are concerned) I'm not very good at resisting temptation... so upgrade to 16GB ordered

I have 12GB in my mid 2010 iMac and am occasionally tempted to replace the original 2GB modules with 4GB ones.

It's slightly sobering to realise that just one of the new memory modules (costing <£20) contains more1 only slightly less RAM than all my old computers put together, and more than twice the total HDD space of the first two 
1 edit- I forgot one of them

I've currently got 2GB in my Late-2008 Aluminium Macbook running Lion and it absolutely crawls. I'm going to pickup the Corsair 8GB DIMMS, even though Apple claim that this model maxes out at 4GB - there seems to be much success with upgrading it to 8.

It is. I can still remember my first hard drive, it was 10MB (yes MB) and it was the size of a shoe box. (full height 5.25 MFM).

I remember a 10MB HDD on an expansion card in the late 80s (would have been ISA slots) - Western Digital product. It was only marginally quicker than the floppy disks but the capacity was incredible.

It seemed a vast amount of space at the time

Update:
As previously stated I went for the 8GB upgrade from Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005JRH9V2/ref=oh...
My memory usage, according to Activity Monitor, seemed to run at around 6GB with OS X 10.7 but that's jumped up to 7-8GB with 10.8. Everything feels a bit quicker so I'm quite happy with the upgrade. 16GB would have been overkill for my needs.
