There are veyr few APPS which will use over 4gb of ram.. I will give a example, if I run photoshop and open a medium sized PSD file (say 70mb with 50 layers) and then Alt-TAB into TASK MANAGER it shows 45% physical memory usage.
With this file open in photoshop. I'll run Google chrome with 4 tabs open on 4 different websites = it shows 55% physical memory usage.
now if I have all that open + Run Crysis2, and load a level. That = 81% physical memory usage. I still haven't hit 100% even with Photoshop+Google chrome(with 4 tabs) and Crysis 2 running all at the same time.
If you really want to give a boost to your computer, the CPU is far more important. The cpu is what actually speeds up everything your computer does. From loading files to compilling video. Ram is simply the "pool"your cpu uses to store data. You can't speed up your computer by simply topping up ram, all you're doing is increasing the amount of data your cpu can store.
