I checked that WoW took about 480 mb of memeryo per client, without addons, wherein previously I remember them taking WITH addons about 370. everything as low as they can be, of course. but then the text becomes nearly unreadable, and the experience is not what it used to be.
4GB of RAM is not even close to sufficient. Those 480 MB per client you see is already limited by the shortage of memory. I run 5 clients on a box with 12GB of RAM and memory usage per client is above 650 MB and can get close to 1GB in crowded areas. Add 1-2 GB for your operating system and you end up with a bare minimum of 8 GB.
