Only for those applications that require it. It is very difficult to quantify due to the number of variables. If your MBP is a model 5.1, it can use up to 8GB RAM.

Here is the system specs can i get up to 8 on this machine?
Also I run Adobe cs5 and final cut if that makes any difference?
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MBP51.007E.B06
SMC Version (system): 1.41f2
5.1 is the magic number. The correct RAM specifications for your MBP are: 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
I recommend RAM from Crucial or OWC. Both have a proven track record for Mac RAM compatibility and have excellent customer support.

This may sound stupid but, should I do 4 and 4 in each slot or 8 in one? does it matter?
Yes, 4 GB in each slot and it does matter. Matched pairs are more efficient than mismatches.
