That is why I said that 2 GB may be the sweet spot (that is,
price). If ram for the machine is cheap enough, get 4 gb
even if the OS can only use 3.1 gb of it. Heck, I've gone
so far as to set up a RAM disk before and moved my swap file
to the remaining ram area (4 gb - 3.1 gb = .9 gb or so). As
long as I don't run TOO many programs, the system becomes
really, really fast.

There are Ramdisk's that could use more, but I think there
are a lot of compatibility issues with such software, so
they never really got too popular. That PC can only take a
maximum of 4GB anyway (if you use 1GB sticks in each of the
4 slots). That older DDR2 memory is fairly expensive
compared to newer memory types.

Ahhhh I had forgotten about that. I've been around 64-bit
systems for too long. Isn't there a utility out there that
will use that extra GB of RAM as a RAM disc?

Actually, all 32-bit operating systems will only use 3.1 GBs
of RAM. Nevertheless, 2 GBs is the "sweet spot," meaning
that less than that can become an "issue" if one runs a lot
of apps at one time and price-wise, for most types of RAM, 2
GBs isn't *that* expensive or that much trouble to fit on a
motherboard.

Windows XP will only take up to 3 gb of memory. Until last
week that is
what I had! Pentium 4 is good! With a larger HD you will
have a good
desktop, IMHO :o) Regards Lil
