Yea the 4 gigs is just going to give you more overhead.
I have 12 gigs and I don't notice a difference from 4 when I'm running it at 1333mhz. Obviously, when I bump it up to 16000, there's a difference.

Overhead is nice though. Particularly for me, where I use a lot of RAM hungry software, and especially for my music software RAM is important. In Big3's case, he could probably get away with 2 gigs, but I'd suggest he go with recommended specs for his games, and not minimum, at least in the RAM department since it's so damn cheap anyway.
