Well, lets say you use youtube, all of us do. 10 tabs? Lets look at the memory consumption...
At the same time, we run toribash, not to much of a change, except it keep leaking and eating more and more. Ouch.
Now lets add a game upon that, BF3, Arma, whatever, wow, we passed 8Gig by far.
Lets continue; a Movie! 8Gigs are crying, and so is the youtube buffert that keeps on emptying now.
Wait! I want to open PS and edit a avatar, or Blender and make a fast 3d illustration cause I feel like it (by now you'd have to kill stuff.)
And to add some topping; Lets open uTorrent and share some 100% legal stuff to over 100 peers!
8Gigs won't do for sure, not if you want to stay on top.
