Hello!

If you read the thread, you see the RAM reported by KODi ist Not correct. If you Run top via SSH 8gb ist shown.

From one posting:

"Linux can use the full RAM for filesystem cache/buffers and background programs / docker containers etc can make use of it. I wouldn't recommend though to run too much stuff on the RPi, it's CPU is still a lot slower than current gen Intel/AMD CPUs.

If you just want to run Kodi then 8GB is overkill. All programs are compiled as 32bit, so each process can use max 3GB (and Kodi won't even need that). 2 or 4GB will do just fine."

[Leia] fix memory info on 32bit linux systems with more than 4GB RAM by HiassofT · Pull Request #18053 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub <= will be merged for Kodi v18.8 so will be in LE 9.2.4 sometime soon. It's a cosmetic thing in tthe Kodi GUI only - if you check free/top etc. from the console they will report 8GB.
