Worth it...
Sure! Maybe not today though.
On average, when actually doing stuff, not just surfing, I actually run around 40 applications at the same time, plus a game in the background just so I don't get bored. I have two monitors set up, and a lot of the time have third or TV hooked up to watch movies/tv on. Can I hit the ceiling on 4GB? Yes. Would you? Not likely.
In 3 years? More than likely yes, you will be hitting the ceiling if using newer windows-based programs.
