I might burn a DVD or so here and there with it.
You don't really feel all the much in gaming (more like none)

When you have a lot of memory, you could start experimenting stuff... like running a little server off your machine, Photo editing, model building (CAD)... etc.

And 16GB allows you to pretty much do all that simultaneously with no noticeable decrease in performance because moving all that data on HDD/SSD is slow... but memory have GB/s of transfer rate, so everything just flow better.
