32 bit OS can use 4gb ram. I have 4gb ram on my computer and so does my tech friend. He just installed it in my machine and bam. I use xp pro. I have 512mb graphics card and can usually render a scene with a good few figures in it. Last scene I did that was major had 5 figures in.....took 4 hours to render and I played world of warcraft at the same time.
