When I built my machine, I ended up deciding on 16 GB of RAM because the cost is only marginally higher than if I used a smaller amount of RAM. Plus, I wanted to run other applications on it and not worry about it upgrading hardware for years.

I expect that you won't find much in the way of general-purpose compute hardware with less than 2 GB of RAM. I was curious about how much is available on the Raspberry Pi 5, and the smallest version they sell has 2 GB.
