fwiw, my BE is on a general-use home server (console/terminal only fedora23) so runs  a torrent client, file share, myth BE,  zoneminder, and owncloud. i seem to be runnning 6gb ram (i assume 4gb & 2gb modules) and consumption after 70days uptime is 23%. 4 FE's where only 1 typically gets used at any one time. 
based on my loading, even 8gb would be a waste.

that said, if i were using it as a VM host for a home lab, ram would be goood!
