My laptop has 8gigs. It does pretty good, though 16gigs wouldn't hurt. Especially since I like to run Photoshop, and may be getting into more video editing later on. Sometimes I run Minecraft and PS at the same time, so great my laptop can handle that, lol.

I have 8gb at my disposal on my Laptop which is not to bad for how much the laptop cost. It plays minecraft well, I plan to play a few older PC games at some point so it should handle those well. As for expanding ram I don't know whether I have that choice but may look into it someday.

I have 4 gigs of RAM on my 2009 Toshiba laptop, which is plenty in every situation except for when I use Photoshop, Illustrator and any browser that is not IE simultaneously.

As for my desktop, I have 8 gigs, and I have never actually run out of RAM unless there has been a memory leak somewhere (I'm looking at you, Firefox) 8GB seems to be plenty for tons of tabs spread over 3 browsers, multiple large files in Photoshop and Illustrator. As well as any game I've tried. (although not gaming and browsers and Adobe stuff simultaneously of course) I don't really see the need to upgrade my RAM, although my MoBo apparently supports up to 64 GB

2 GB rams on my old laptop, even though sometimes it's a bit small. My new laptop is much better with 4 GB ram in it, though.

My current laptop has 1 gb ram. I think I win. I can't save anything, I can't run anything, basically all I can do is look at facebook and run windows 98 because it's not good enough to run anything else. But at least it's a touchscreen.

It's kind of interesting that the normal these days is 8GB. It's what I have at home, it's what I have in my workstation at work.

I can beat 8GB though, at work I manage 3 Virtual Machine hosts that have 72GB of RAM each.
I really need a new signature.

I have 8GB RAM on my HP desktop and 6GB RAM on my Alienware m11x r3. It seems to do the job as I 90% of the time use them to browse the web and listen to music. Sometimes I do play games on them, and I haven't hit any brick walls with them.

This, in combination with their Core i7 processors makes them super-future proof. I'll probably be using them 5 years from now. :p
