I second what MalcomDiggs has said, but run some benchmarks on your home box with all the memory. Find an amount at which performance increases level off, &amp; request a just amount based on hard data. If they don&#x27;t respond after making it perfectly clear as to what you need to do your job properly, then leave. (Assuming you can easily get work elsewhere)<p>Maybe link this comments thread in your intranet post, a community like HN expressing sane norms might help your case.
