I would never go for less than 8gigs of RAM for a dev machine. My current machine sports 8GB and it's often frustrating.

- KurtMueller 10y agoWhat languages do you program in and what toolsets do you use?
- dotdi 10y agoDepends, but most of the time it's either - Java: Eclipse and the actual application running that I am working on, or - JS: Sublime, a server for running and testing, a few Chrome tabs + Chrome Dev Tools. While both of those would work fine with 8Gigs, if I ever happen to have to run more things (as in, the aforementioned things at the same time or a VM next to any of them) at the same time, things slow down considerably.
