For those of us who use computers to create music, there is never too much RAM and CPU speed. Modern DAWs [Digital Audio Workstations] allow you to stack as many audio plugins as your computer can handle and it is not unusual to group 3 or more plugins together for each of several tracks in a song that might have 16 or so tracks. For instance, maybe you want to group an old school Moog bass tone with a bass violin and a bassoon to get a deep, dark rumble at the bottom of a hip-hop beat.
I have read about movie soundtrack composers who had to rack together tens of computers to be able to synthesize a realistic sounding full orchestra.
