It will only use the ram if it needs to.

A CPU-intensive scene is not neccessisarily a memory-intensive scene.

BUT - ram is (currently) cheap and it's better to have it than not, eh?

I have an idea that if you started rendering an animation sequence of a 4+ million poly scene with 36 lights, with shadows and reactor moving 50+ trees, that your ram usage would go up.
