It's really interesting having a server with way too much memory for what you're using it for. I started with a server with 2 gigabytes of ram, then bumped it up to four, and then eventually ended up with 16. So at this point I have more memory then I had memory and swap at various times, and it's surprisingly challenging trying to force the server to keep things in memory rather than hammer the hard drive. I had my swappiness down to one, now I'm trying zero to see how that works.

I can see both sides. On one hand, I had a lot of fun trying to figure out how to do everything in 640k back in the day, but on the other hand, being able to just use the memory you need and focus on solving the problems is nice sometimes as well.
