Yes, Linux can use 8GB RAM. The only problem is the user interface, but I think you could run a remote Mathematica kernel on a Linux server and use the front-end on the Mac as a "terminal". I never tried this, however. (someday I will try this with a Mathematica kernel running in an OS installed within VMware).
