Is it necessary to upgrade to 16G RAM?

What's the difference between 8G and 16G RAM?
What kind of usage for a 16G RAM system to do easily, but it's hard for 8G?

A) Difference is 8 GB (LOL, sorry, couldn't resist, not fully awake yet)

B) For the most part 8GB is plenty for most users, where 16 and more comes in handy is for Power Users doing extreme multi-tasking and people that use RAM intensive processes and very large data sets, as in working with CAD, photos, video, etc..........also for users that use a RAMDisk

We can use Virtual Machines as an example.. with 8GB you can only have 5 VMs active without lag. With 6, you experience delay and the system is not useable. If you upgrade to 16GB, now you can have 10 VMs without lag.
