For Windows 7 or Windows 8 or Windows 10 4GB is usually sufficient. For some applications more may be required. For example some games may run much smoother with larger amounts. Generally the more ram you have the more efficiently your computer will run, which means faster. 8GB is a popular boost for those wishing to increase performance. Some motherboards allow up to 64GB of ram. For a basic analogy, think of your computer like an office. The CPU is the boss. The ram is the workers. The hard drive is the filing cabinet. The boss is set to work at a specific speed. When he gives orders, he gives them to the workers. If there are not enough workers, he has to wait for the workers to finish what they are doing before giving more orders. So the more workers there are, the quicker the orders will be carried out which makes the system more efficient. The filing cabinet stores all of your files. The larger this device is the more files you will be able to store, that means more room for music, pictures, documents, programs, etc.
