I think that we need to learn more about the OP's application.
I said "probably", not for sure.
If the hash table won't fit into memory, then we have to do something else.

    Nowadays, many home PCs (including mine) have 32 GB of memory and a 64-bit OS ...

    -- from The 10**21 Problem (Part 2) (2014)

    Agreed. Given the OP was "hoping to be able to go to at least 8GB" -- and given I had 32 GB of memory on my home PC way back in 2014 (and I am definitely not a rich man :) -- the simplest and cheapest something else may be simply "buy more memory". Well, that seems attractive for a commercial company because the cost of PC hardware is dwarfed by the cost of people (and the cost/risk associated with making massive code changes to critical production systems).
