Because I'd like to see how much would be sufficient? If 8 isn't enough, I can probably get 16GB.

What are you using these machines for specifically, what OS is going to be on these machines, and how many do you want to run maximum?

1. test compatibility of programs I'll create
2. test/analyze malware
I'd like to use XP, and Linux on those(Virtual machines)
I'd like to be able to run at least 1-3, with my computer not lagging..
