Why on earth would you need 32gb? Unless you run heavy folding alongside renders and encoders while play games, there's no way you'll use it. By the time one does require 32gb, the rest of the hardware will be too dated to bother with.
Not trying to criticise you, really. It's your money, so do what you wish - I really DO want to know.

Because why not? Personally though I tend to run with 16gb. Only because I am too cheap to buy more.

Having alot of memory is nice, but Im running with 8GB of memory and I havent maxed that out. If you run too much memory that isnt being used, you are just spending power that you are wasting.

I have 12GB i upgraded to 12 from 8 when i managed to max out 8 although i was running VIM playing a game and hosting a TS/COD4 server on the same computer at the same time

Well I don't need it I guess. But I wanted these new tactical versions and I already had 16 gb, so why upgrade new ram and keep the same size?
Also, windows 7 64 bit has max ram of 192 gb, 32 doesnt sound all that overboard.
Alienwares top end gaming pcs come with 32 gb
Finally, The 16 gb set of two was only a little bit more than the 8 gb set of two.
Btw, got 16 gb of corsairs for sell.
