Does Windows 8 need a certain amount of RAM to operate effectively?

What's that got to do with brightness?
I wouldn't want a W8 PC with less than 4GB of RAM. But beyond that, it all depends what programs you intend to run on it.
4GB is perfectly adequate for light general use, internet, email, MS Office tasks etc.
If you want to edit video or render in Photoshop, you need more.No free lunch, and no free laptop

Wait for Windows 8.1 The return of the Start Button:D
Although Windows 8's light will probably remain dim.That gum you like is coming back in style.0 -
Or use Classic Shell and don't wait?No free lunch, and no free laptop0

True, using Classic Start 8 myself.That gum you like is coming back in style.0

'Operate effectively' is a matter of opinion, but the minimum spec for Windows 8 is the same as Windows 7 - 1GB. I would say that 2GB is good enough for general use but again, this is a matter of opinion.0
