    More RAM is not always better. What do you do on your computer, and how many applications do you usually have open at a time? Most of the time 4G is plenty. Also, is your operating system 32 bit or 64 bit?

    You should be able to make it with 4, but 8 certainly wouldn't hurt, especially with iTunes, PS, and five browser tabs.

    Windows 32 bit can use about 3.7 GB.

    I know, but most people, even when my username was literally just "Connor" still spelt it wrong.
