It really depends on how many players you have. If it's just you and a couple friends, 2GB should be fine. For a little larger server maybe 4GB. I'm pretty sure that Java requires a consecutive memory block meaning that even though you may have 8GB available, it could be broken up into little pieces making it mostly unusable for java. You may want to restart your computer beforehand. In any case, I don't recommend hosting from your desktop. A virtual machine inside the desktop would be better than not, but a dedicated machine would still be the best option.
