I must be the lucky one, I have 16gb and I pretty much need it. I seem to never close my chrome tabs and do a lot of multitasking.

Actually, I just realized I only have 8gb, I'm on a different laptop. I bought an extra 8gb stick of ram but never fitted it because I haven't needed it yet. Just more recently Google Chrome crashes every time I have too many tabs open so I haven't needed the extra ram. But I've still been close to using the entire 8gb plenty of times.

8gb, which is overkill for me considering Linux is light on ram usage even when multitasking. I only have the large amount for gaming.

Wow. And I've lived with 128MB RAM most of my life... .-.

My system came with 6GB, but I recently decided to throw in an extra 2GB just for the hell of it. So now I have 8GB!

My laptop has 4GB which seemed like a huge improvement coming from 1GB desktop that was slow as hell. haha.

And it seems to have gotten faster since I installed Windows 8.

It will depend mostly on if you came from a 32BIT OS and 64BIT OS. On 32bit it has a limit of reading only 3.70GB of RAM maximum, while 64 bit is unlimited.

it's 64 bit, utilizing all 4GB ram + W8 is less resource demanding.
