I would discourage to use such machine! 8GB means you are using 64 bit machine which will be much slower than 32 bit machines. Big memory is useful ONLY if you have applications that can benefit big memory such as database systems. In Java, if you use lots of memory and create lots of objects, your Java applications will have periodic seisures! This is because of garbage collection will take significant time, if started.
I would be happy with 1 ~ 2 GB 32bit machines! This could deliver much faster services.
