This depends entirely on what your computer is going to be doing and what programs it will be running. Some versions of Linux can run on just a few megabytes of RAM.

How much RAM will vista support?

Most recent PC video games will have their Minimum System Requirements displayed on the packaging it came in. Refer to this chart to see how much RAM is recommended for your games. If you can not find the Minimum System Requirements, I would recommend two 2GB sticks of RAM, for 4GB total. The price for a "Dual Channel Kit" with 4GB of RAM total is relatively low compared to 8GB Dual Channel Kits and not much more expensive than 2GB Dual Channel Kits.
