@ nvidiageek - tell your friend to buy another 2 GB stick & run both 2GBs in dual channel. They will give better perf in games.

"tell your cousin" :D. 32-bit OS uses 3.25GB RAM, right?? But is 4GB RAM utilized by the 'demanding' games on 32-bit OS???

Buddy that's not true. 32 bit OS doesn't have 3.25GB mem limitation.
For eg. Windows Server 2003 32 bit Enterprise Edition SP2 Supports 64GB Ram.
Windows Server 2003 32 bit Datacenter Edition SP2 Supports 128GB of Ram.

But, 32 bit consumer grade OS like Vista & XP 32 bit editions have such limitations.

For 4 GB Ram - I've said to get 2x 2GB Ram & Run them in dual channel. Coz Dual Channel does gives 15-30% more bandwidth compared to single channel.
So all memory intensive apps will run faster.

32 bit programs can support a max mem of 2GB. So games & other programs
which can utilise 2GB ram will benefit even more.

Also you can always go for 64bit OS & get more performance.

If I switch to 64-bit OS, does 32-bit games uses the performance of 64-bit OS??? Or do I have to buy 64-bit Games?? Do Games switch to 32- or 64-bit when we change the OS 32- or 64-bit???
:confused: :confused:

^^Dun worry, the work. And only if the game is 64-bit optimized(it's usually mentioned), then it benefits from the 64-bit OS. Else only the xtra ram comes in2 use.

^^I didn't patch the Crysis. My Dial-up is so bad, that it takes 2 mins to download 500kB!!
So Crysis 1.2 patch was 300MB+, that's impossible for me to download. 25MB's too big....:D

@comp@ddict - Fallout 3's ending didn't impress me. I don't like ending where we have to die! :mad:. BiA:HH's ending was superb! :)

Yeah, no probs^^. He got another problem: He says that whenever he runs GTA IV, the command prompt comes up, but the game doesn't run. What might be the problem???

add to topgear's point there is little optimization to rectify usage of upto 4GB in XP.
so it will be that both the sticks will get used but not to max. and again you will gain the benefit of dual channel. but it is not very high IMO
