That sound is your hard drive madly juggling plates, and praying that it doesn't drop any.

For some reason that one made me laugh...

You have too much RAM when

-your fingers hurt from pressing all the ZIP socket chips in place.
-your PC draws too much power and the laptop has no battery life.
-you need a new fan from Canadian Tire to point at the open case.
-your 32 bit OS can only address the first 4G and
-up to half of that is reserved for memory mapped I/O
-your 64 bit PC cost more than your house to fill with 18446744073709551616 bytes.
