8GB seems pretty sensible to me for a Linux box thats doing office or
program development type tasks.

I notice that my Intel and AMD boxes (a pair of Lenovo laptops and an AMD-
based whitebox PC that I use as the house server, all running 64 bit
Fedora Linux) that those with smaller memories (3GB and 4GB) normally
trundle on without swapping, but do swap on occasion, while the 8GB
system has never swapped - at least I haven't noticed it doing so.
