Ialready posted this in a similar thread but it should help here also:

After monitoring many games that requires lots of ram like UT2k4 online, Oblivion, and C&C3 in a 8 players map, and all games at highest details, the RAM usage has never gone past 1.45GB
Full specs in case someone asks: Core 2 Duo 1.86GHz, Geforce 8800 GTX and 2GB RAM at 667Mhz
And dont tell me my processor is the bottleneck, everything runs at max and im waiting for the Intel processors to drop price soon ^^

Im using XP btw, but I would say 2GB is the best at the moment, but after more and more games come out, the usage will be getting closer to the 2GB line

For Vista 2gb is needed to play anything.

I estimate it takes 256mb-512mb to run Vista then XP.
