Meh not that crazy it is required some times. And it is cheap as chips, when you run your host OS (Vista), then a virtual XP machine for older web browser testing, then say a Server 2008 VM too for your build server and UAT environment, it all adds up.
Then you have many tools open on your Host OS which are required to get things done, RAM becomes your friend. With todays RAM prices its crazy not to have at least a couple gig.
RAM is faster than swapping out to disk, hence why more RAM means less pages need to be swapped to disk and making it a lot faster. Put as much RAM as you can throw at it and life is good.
