Perhaps more importantly, you need to factor in generics. After all,
a generic instantiation (one line of source code) can generate
megabytes of machine code. (I spent the last 3 months reworking a
generic where every instantiation produced about 350kb of machine
code, and we expected about 250 instantiations. So that's 87.5mb.
If memory costs $100/16mb, that's $500 per workstation. Multiply this
times 250 workstations, and you're talking some real money here...)
