Wow, that isn't much! I have 8GB as well, my SeaMonkey is currently using over 1,700 MB (resident)... that is with about 95 tabs open (normal for me). When I had 4GB RAM, it would take a lot less than that for that many tabs, though (more like 1,200 MB, I believe). In any case, the point is all modern browsers want a lot of memory.
