Probably the most memory intensive thing I do is that sometimes 3 or 4 VPC's are open and running.... at 6GB, it seemed like sometimes I was running out. With the sale price of $75 for 6GB of 1600Mhz ram, I thought I would give it a try. Youre right, on normal usage, you dont really notice.
As an aside, at this same sale, I finally bought the two GTX 460's I have been talking about. They didnt wow me as much as I thought they would. Civ4 looks somewhat better and scolls nice a quick. Dragon Age looks better too ... just doesnt seem like $400 better.

Neither of those games are graphically intensive in terms of "wow" factor. Civ4 takes up a lot of resources and processing power because of the scale of the game but it's still a simplistic strategy game and Dragon Age is well known as a console port with low-res textures. There are fan mods out there that improve Dragon Age graphics for more powerful PCs.
If you want to be wowed by your GTX 460 SLI, try something like Metro 2033 or Crysis. Sadly, with so many games being console ports, there is really very little out there that makes use of that graphical power.
You could also buy two more monitors and make used of Nvidia 3D Surround
