Well, practically, it's highly unlikely that you'll be running 2 memory intensive apps at the same time when gaming. Again - if you have the money - spend it but there's really no need to plan for more than 1 intensive app at the same time on your gaming comp.

Not going to beat this one to death, just thought I'd offer up some input if people were trying to improve how EB runs by having them not spend excess cash on something that won't actually improve performance after a point. Certainly not telling anyone what to buy or how to spend their cash. If you want to plop 8GB in your box - feel free but it's not going to make EB run faster past around the first 2GB.
