Many gamers and enthusiasts will likely end up with a 4GB system as the prices of memory have dropped recently and make this very inviting, however 8GB would only be required if you are running tons of applications and at the same time trying to play BF2142 or some other bloated EA title. The truth is, gamers don't usually bog down their gaming systems and often spend hours cleaning them up and making them as lean as possible. In this situation 8GB would be serious overkill.
