43, forgot my IP based KVM
I had to count this recently as my free for home router software started complaining I was reaching the 50 IP limit.
Xen servers 2 (and 10 more counting VMs
stratum 1 NTP server 1
NAS server 1
managed gigabit switches 2
VOIP related 6
Home Automation related 4
Airport express units 5 (whole house audio)
Airport extremes 2 (acting as access points only)
iPhones 2
iPads 3
Macbook 1
Mac mini 1
Apple TVs 2
Home entertainment 4 (Wii, PS3, TV, TiVo)
Picture frames 2
Printers 2
M$ boxes 2 (one desktop, one laptop)
That adds up to 42 (and nicely over 50 counting the VMs
This is only IPs on the network all the time, doesn't count various servers, desktops, netbooks N such that aren't on often.
Do I win something?
You must be pretty gentle with your system.
firefox all by itself can be pretty memory hoggy.
I'm only using 128 Meg at the moment but last week the whole system (2G RAM Ubuntu) was getting pretty laggy and when I checked, firefox was using well over 1Gig of RAM.
Added to the normal system (900 Meg right now) and I had used up my 2G easy.
I personally stick 8G into anything I run at home, just a nice round number.
But, run OS X with a greedy firefox and a parallels session, crossover and a few other greedy tasks (itunes anyone) and I'm eating into that 8G pretty good.
I doubt I'll be running 16 Gig next year, but I'll be using a good deal of the 8G I already have.
Hold on, you missed a bit here..
