Comfortably. 16GB of memory against a 4GB working set leaves headroom for context, the OS, and anything else you're running.
weights 0.9GB + KV cache 2GB at 4k context vs ~16GB usable → full. 2.9 GB needed of 16 GB usable — headroom for context
computed roofline: 732 GB/s × 0.17–0.38 efficiency window / 0.9GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.
