Quote - I just looked this up, a 32-bit OS can actually access up to 4gb of RAM (2gb for kernel, 2gb for apps).  Sorry for the misinformation.

 

it all depends on what the mhz is of the ram used. my system's motherboard(biostar) can hold 3 gig of ram but if i use ddr 400mhz then it will only hold 2 gig...something to do with the motherboard i have, for me to use the full 3 gig then i would have to use something thats got less mhz...

only saying this cause a tech guy advised me of this when i upgraded the ram in my pc.

I have opinions of my own -- strong opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
