I would expect a DDR3 user to want to utilize triple channel RAM and thus get 6GB of RAM (3 x 2GB).
And yes, 32-bit OS's have a 4GB limit. With other devices and the way the memory is addressed, you typically have access to about 3.2GB worth of that RAM.
Oh you are going for 32bit? Yes a 32bit OS will user between 3.5-3.8 GB only. However, i m sure your new rig will perform much better with 64bit OS.
I would definetely go for the 64-bit if there was a way for me to acquire some kind of download of the 64bit RC and an activation key before tomorrow mid-day, which is when I need to have this PC built and ready.
Would anyone perhaps by any chance have a download link that they could provide, and an activation key? This would be greatly appreciated.
