My laptop "works" fine (i.e. no paging) with 4GiB: I usually have XFCE, 
ThunderBird, some FireFox windows with several tabs, several terminals, 
some LibreOffice sheet, audacity, maybe okular.

My desktop does the same: with 4GiB I occasionally had heavy swapping 
due to FireFox when I visited some "evily written" sites.
I upgraded to 8GiB because I had the DIMM around, but still seldomly use 
that amount.

Of course, YMMV.
