Because it comes from a company which sells memory.

Cynically,

P.S.  Actually, in other blurbs about the company, they speak of that formula
as giving the amount of memory needed for "optimum" performance.  In this
case, rather than taking the 4GB as what you *need* to run, consider it
evidence that (they think at least) that any memory you add will help your
performance (which may well be true :-).
