    Wasted money. 4 gigs of RAM is plenty.

    8GB of RAM would be good if you were running FCP, Motion and Sountrack all at once, plus Mail, Safari, After effects…

    If you are running just FCP, 4GB is about all you will need.

    Futher to this. I think the FCP app ony actually access a maximum of 2 G of RAM.

    However.

    I would venture to guess that perhaps the next version will access MORE so if the RAM is cheap, buy it now. Computers love as much RAM as you can throw at them.
