4G ram without swap doesn't last long.

If you are happy to use swap consistently and suffer the performance drop, that's fine.

Before I went Linux I started out with a 4G VM with no swap, and kept wondering why it was so unreliable. I almost gave up on Linux as stuff kept crashing. Then I saw the oom-killer logs.

8G was fine.
