CUrrently using 8Gb 1600 (4×2GB), thinking about upgrading to 16GB, sometime think this is overkill, and go back to say “Hey, there’s many people use 16GB nowadays”.
Mostly we are (web designer/developers) using multitasking heavily (at least I’m 
), when I’m in my full load (Photoshop, Illustrator, code editor, Chrome with about 30 tabs open, iTunes, VirtualBox with 2 Windows VMs running … and little more like TweetDeck some menubar apps), I have about 1.5GB free, less or more.
What about you? what do you think? And much RAM do you use?

4gb seems to be just fine for Windows 7 with Fireworks, Aptana (code editor), Chrome, ftp client, WAPM (virtual apache server), internet radio, messenger client – stuff that runs almost non-stop.
Note: SSD harddrive for windows and installed applications.

Have 16GB in my Retina MBP . It definitely isn’t overkill, go for it (or even more, if you can).

Our systems run on up to 32GB of ram and we have a few 16GB’s. The 16’s are plenty.
