Are you ready to run 8GB of RAM?

I read an interesting article today concerning XP owners still wanting to run the os in 2014! What blew me away though was the later remarks concerning RAM use...
Please read and give any thoughts..:

Did you read about the virtues of running with 8GB of RAM though? Thats all well and good but the average joe hasn't got a super system nor the funds to obtain that much RAM. I know it's cheap at the moment but thats only cuz they made too much of the stuff!

I'm running 4Gb and as of right now I don't see the need of more but that may change tomorrow.

Lol.... just to get off topic a tad. I'm just re-installing Crysis now there's a game that likes all the RAM it can get!

I know it (including whatever else is running) uses about 2Gb out of the 4 that I was running.

It does like it's resources anyway I haven't played it for a while so I thought I'd load it up again.. I need a new game really, I'm thinking I may try that Assassins Creed.

It is fun to play and when I get my PC back together I'll have to reinstall myself.
