Any idea of recommended RAM required to run efficiently?

Windows hardware requirements have basically remained unchanged since Vista with the exception of increased RAM utilization. Any CPU less than 10 years old with 2 gigs of RAM will suffice, but four gigs of RAM is much better. Performance will be nearly identical to the same hardware running Windows 7.

I’ve been running “Technical Preview” on a “Core Duo” and a “Core i5” system with 4GB RAM and 8GB RAM respectively.

Both are mouse-and-keyboard systems, and Technical Preview acts like an evolution of Windows 7.

I like it.

If you try it, you may experience problems with device drivers. My Nvidia card drivers, for example, want to see “Windows 7” or “Windows 8”. They barf on Technical Preview; complain about ‘unrecognized version of Windows’. Not surprising, really, and not likely to be a problem when the real Windows 10 rolls out.

Twice as much as you have.
