4Gb would still help. especially for more multitasking. you can have firefox with upto 10 tabs open and a VLC blastin out some tunes while you surf without putting a strain on the netbook when youre switching apps. boot up times will also be significantly improved and background services like Norton/Kaspersky internet security wont hurt that much because you have 4gb to play with,

whether you need it or not - it would still be nice to have just incase you need that extra resource
