4gb should be fine.

Remember RAM is temporary storage space for the computer.

4GB won't run a 500slot server mate.
It's also depending on your bandwidth, don't want it to lagg for everyone else.

Try and get a stable OS aswell and you're good to go

Servers wont reach 4gb ram, not even with 1000 players. RAM mostly depends on the script and assigned variables. Joining players will just slightly (if at all) increase the used ram.
NPCs increase the ram more, as they run their own process that takes ~1-5mb ram, so unless you got 900 NPCs the ram shouldnt ever go above several hundred MBs, never heard of a server using 1gb ram (without artificially increasing ram with big arrays).

Also, as the samp server is a 32 bit application it cant assign more than 4gb ram anyways.

4GB is more than enough. the only way you would use this much is if your script is intensive.

500 slots is perfectly fine it even run at around 1-2 GB of RAM with no issues. Its just the bandwidth you need to worry about.
