16GB might be more memory than most people need, but given how cheap memory is, it seems like a good investment. I picked up an old dual core desktop from work with 4GB of RAM. I upgraded it to 16GB, put in a new 4GB video card and it works well for most things. I may not use all of the memory, but I would not have saved very much if I went with 8GB of RAM.
