The way I look at it, run whatever flipping OS you want on whatever flipping hardware you want, so long as the programs you want run well on it.
8GB RAM is a completely random criteria, for instance, would you bring out the pitchforks for 4 GB?
And what if your computer runs just fine on 2GB... mine does, all my programs run quite snappily. Then again, that computer is not burdened by running an OS made by Microsoft.
I will run a 64-bit OS if my hardware supports 64-bit, because there is no point artificially restricting myself, but honestly, it's not all that big a deal. 32-bit OSes did not STOP working just because 64-bit now exists, any more than WinXP stopped working just because Vista/7 came out. (I recognize this is a difficult concept for you to fathom.
