I would say 8GB is the practical limit for anyone, really. The extra expense does not justify the gain beyond 8. I personally run 4.

You can run CAD software with 2GB. 2 should be your minimum, and 8 should be your maximum. From what I gather, there is very little noteworthy improvement from 6GB DDR3 to 12GB, so 8 is technically overkill already.
