I had 8GB and I found I never got close to using all of it so I sold 4GB.

I run with no paging file but now, every once in a while, I'll get the low memory message (eg. Running Age of Conan, F@H, Firefox, MSN Messenger) but since I very rarely do that...it's not a big deal. And even then, it's still only using 80% of the RAM capacity or so.

So really, as has been mentioned, unless you really see a situation where you need it, 8GB is probably unneccessary.
