I've been a bit too busy of late but finally have a moment to share. I finally got around to buying more RAM It was very little extra to get 8GB than 4GB so that is what I did. I therefore now have 12GB of RAM.
The net results can be summarized as:-
NO benefits regarding boot up speed.
NO benefits in light usage.
Significant benefits when copying large files.
Signification benefits when using Panorama Factory to stitch more than 20 pics in a 360 deg panorama. (takes about a 1/2 the time)
Significant benefits when running virtual machines as I can now give them 4GB each!
Currently running 12 apps and still have 6GB of RAM free though!
I'm sorry I don't have the time to give more details right now - like numbers or timings.
To conclude :-
For light users, 4GB is enough
For most users 8GB is plenty
Only those with the most RAM hungry apps will need more that 12GB!
