It's been mentioned in many Overclocking forums, I just discovered this Gem today. Too bad they don't come in 8GB modules but dammit they're awesome. Read the reviews. Most of the sticks are out of stock. It's a bitch to find them but for the price you buy you're getting something really amazing.

After about 3 gigs you're really really pushing the limits of performance gain.
7.35GB of usage, I got 16GB. Even that's pretty low for me. It honestly depends on your work load.
It's work if you're a professional gamer. Hell people actually paid to play games these days.
Well, it usually depends on your workload. If your OS requires 1GB of RAM and you install 512MB you will get reduced performance. In reality the more is better. The RAMs are cheap now, the next revision would be DDR4 and that will take few years or 1.2 years to be exact. If you're using a 32bit OS and it's Windows Xp then you should have at least 2GB of ram, with Windows 7 more than 2GB would be great and if you're using 64Bit aim for 6GB not 4GB! And if you use Adobe Suite then increase it more.
For Linux 2Gb is ideal. But if you want to play with VM's get the 64bit version and add more RAM.
For Gaming anything above 6GB is overkill.
