In modern Linux and Windows operating systems every file you read off the hard drive is stored in memory and only re-read after it has been write invalidated. This can reduce the amount of disk related seeks greatly in a mostly read based workload. For your average home user between 6 and 8GB are pretty standard amount and will give good performance. For power users and gamers between 16 and 32GB should be considered.
