I have 4GB DDR3 @ 667mhz, and it works just fine with my AMD Athlon II X4 620 2.6ghz. I have never needed more than 4GB of RAM in the past 5 years that I've had it.
Gaming performance is the only thing I really care about, and it isn't affected by RAM quantity at all. There is a point where if you don't have enough RAM, the game will have to load from the hard drive, and you will experience a microstutter. But it will not result in a constant degraded frame rate. And as long as you stay above that point, there is no difference in framerate between 4GB and 32GB of RAM.
I also do a lot of home video and photo editing in RAM-hungry applications like Photoshop and Sony Vegas. And I STILL don't need more than 4GB of RAM. Really, unless you are using your computer for your work/profession, there is just no need for the average consumer to have more than 4GB. The performance gain to cost ratio of a RAM upgrade is the absolute lowest out of all possible computer upgrades you could do.
