Hello!

I've noticed that my RAM are used up most of the time. Currently I have the standard 4 gigabytes of RAM the Macbook was shipped with.

In a normal day, I'll be running Netbeans, Photoshop, Chrome, Apache and a MySQL server at the same time.

Now the question is, would I benefit from 16GB, or can I just buy 8GB?

It's totally up to you. Depends on your computing tasks & your budget. 16 gig really isn't that expensive vs. 8gig...and if your budget can handle it...go for the 16gig.:)
