Such thing as too much memory?

As an avid PC gamer I have always been trying to follow the "best of the best" in the PC world. Most PC gamers decide to build their own desktop PC. The reason for this is to update outdated hardware with ease, and without needing to replace their whole machine.
One of the most important aspects when building a gaming PC is the GPU, Or graphics card. Recently a 2GB graphics card has been considered to be in the "high-performance" range depending on the other aspects of your machine. Personally on my machine I have a 2GB GPU and have never had issues.
With technology always getting better and cheaper, especially memory. NVIDIA has now created a GPU or graphics card that has 12GB of DDR5 memory called the Tesla K40. This is such a large amount that it is hard to even imagine what you would need it for. I think this demonstrates that technology has no limit and will continue to grow and become less expensive. Who knows, maybe 5 years from now ipads will only be $100.
