I don't recall ever seeing a game with a functioning main process eating up more than 2.5 GiB of memory.
I have 6 gigs and isnt nearly enough. My thing is I usually have skype, css, steam, eve online, firefox with around 30 tabs, megaupload, and maybe a few others i forgot to mention running all at the same time.
