    Sufficient as in "It won't suck", then yes; Sufficient as in "runs like the wind", then definitely not.

    I went for years on 4GB. While it was a rocky road at times, it pulled as much weight as it could carry; usually this was enough.

    My sweet spot at the moment is 8GB, unless I run VMs on my machine...then I want 32GB. But for pretty much everything 8GB is enough.

    agreed there. For not doing much as a basic work horse doing internet email and faceboob games then this would suffice. For most work and gaming condition I would recommend a minimum of 8GB, even then I struggle a bit with multitasking.

    8GB is fine for gaming at the moment, but if you've got a dual-monitor setup and you're multitasking on the second monitor, it might cut it a bit short. Chrome uses insane amounts of RAM for no reason.

    If you do absolutely no multi-tasking then 4GB might be enough for most games. Most, not all.
