Hi,
I need a 2nd Poller. Our first poller is running on Windows 2008 32 bit with 24 Gig of memory and only using 5 Gig.
If I build a 2nd poller on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit, do I need 24 Gig of memory for 10,000 elements or shall 8 Gig be enough?

Your second poller is usually going to be a little lighter on requirements than your primary if all things are equal, so 8GB may be sufficient if it's just like your primary. However, there's a bunch of factors that could contribute to higher demand-such as the polling frequencies of devices on this poller, additional modules, if you have syslog/trap messages directed there, and any other software that could be deployed on the machine.
I'd recommend going with 8, and watch it after it's fully deployed to ensure that your resources aren't being taxed.
