It's not just a question of memory, it's also how it is used (guaranteed
pages, burst pages etc.) and how you handle the cache.

512 is definitely enough. I would say that 256 would be sufficient but it
does depend on other factors. A good hosting provider should provide you
with an easy upgrade path if needed. So you could start with 256 and see how
it goes. If you need an upgrade then it 'should' simply be a question of the
hosting company increasing the quotas, a matter of minutes.

Also, I might point out that your numbers don't really add up... 8000 hits
is about 400 visitors, which is 15/hour or one every four minutes. Assuming
you mean 8000 visitors, that is  340/hour (5/min or 1 per 12 secs). You are
unlikely to have more than two concurrent users at any one time.
