The Riddle of the RAM - How Much RAM For Windows? Is 8GB Not Enough?

Let's say a starter computer comes with 8GB RAM, and a more high-end gaming PC comes with 16GB RAM. Windows 8 supports up to 128GB RAM. The more RAM you have, the less you rely on "Virtual Memory"- the magic utilization of hard disk which allows several "heavy memory" applications to run in memory at the same time. "Virtual Memory" is usually implemented as a file, such as pagefile.sys or swapfile.sys.
