 Btw you don't want to run it on a laptop with less then 8gb ram, it has 3gb is use after startup. (compared to xp only occupying 200mb)

I'm running Win8 on a laptop with 6 gigs of RAM, and it runs like a gazelle.

6 works too, I have 5.1gb in use atm with firefox open and running a small game, 8 is better though.
I guess you can be fine with less If you have the swap file on an SSD drive.
