Of you get the retina you can't can't upgrade the RAM afterwards! So get 8GB to be on the safe side!

key-word: multitasking The extra memory the extra you're arranged to multitask with out lag. 4 GB is great yet counting on the OS: Lion or Snow Leopard the better the swifter with mushy reveal screen to reveal screen pass. Plus the fact the OS takes approximately 0.5 of four GB to run properly. 8 GB often is the extra effective improve to try this and extra.
I have a PC with 6gb and I almost never fill it up, even when doing really heavy duty HD rendering. 4gb will be fine.
4gb is quite a bit depending what you'd save to the computer. But you can never go wrong with more space so it's a personal choice.
Ram will give your computer more space to do things at one time. If you are going to do lots of things on your computer then get the 8gb ram, but I'm guessing you won't need it.
