I think upgrading the RAM on a medium price modern Windows 8 PC which cost $500 may not be as worth it to the typical buyer compared to the past since most $500 desktop PCs from stores like Bestbuy usually come with 6-8GB or more of RAM depending on the other parts like processor/CPU, video card, hard drive, and other parts which drive up the price of a PC.
I got Windows 8 to use about 458MB of RAM on a PC with 1024MB of RAM by uninstalling or stopping programs I never use, and using a lightweight antivirus like Bitdefender Antivirus.
A lot of people also claim that uninstalling the bundle software which came with PC with http://www.pcdecrapifier.com/ or the default add/remove programs in Windows would make a PC faster without needing more RAM because by uninstalling software, your computer will use less RAM.
I saw videos of people running Windows 8 on an old netbooks with 1GB of RAM, and performed better after they upgraded to 8 instead of using its old OS like 7 which came with the netbook.

Windows 8 on the Worst Computer Ever (900MHz Celeron, 512MB RAM) EEE PC 900Keep in mind this netbook only has 1gb ram and NO ssd. It's more than usable for web surfing ect. With windows 7 it would of been painfully slow with 1gb
Metro apps wont work due to lack of windows 8 driver for intel gma 3600 video chip
everything else including wirlesss and sound is fine
