    It'll only help if you use Vmware or something that specifically uses a lot of ram. Normal computing (gaming, word processing, firefox, etc.) does not use anywhere near 8gb.

    I've never used Dolphin so couldn't say. Play on it for awhile, open task manager, and tell us how much ram it uses. Unless it's like close to 3gb or more being used by Dolphin, more than 4gb isn't going to help.
