but you will need a 64bit os to use all 4gbs.

Not necessarily.

If you upgrade from 2Gb to 4Gb, its true windows will only allow you to use the first 3.2-3.5Gb. However this is true for the 32 bit version of the O/S. 64 Bit versions of XP and Vista make use of all 4Gb due to the 64 bit architecture.

You can also research about the /PAE boot switch option to "make" XP use all the available memory.

Hello people. What's GLAN? It's been a while since I've paid a whole lot of attention to new stuff in computers. My brother will one day soon be buying one and I thought I'd check out some ads for him. The language in them has changed and I haven't kept up so well. Thanks in advance.
