I thought the OS had to be 64-bit to recognize over 3 or 3.5 GB. What mobo do you have?

the motherboard will support that much ram as long as you run a 64 bit OS whether it be linux/xp/vista or any other OS you decide to use.. I have 2x2gb Corsair XMS2 6400 that is recognized on my XP x64 OS. I am actually thinking of upgrading to 8GB since Newegg has 2x2gb kit I need on sale for $84 shipped after $40 rebate which being a corsair rebate=as good as cash. I've had great experience with all of my Corsair rebates, never having to make a phone call or anything to have my rebate check sent.

with 32 bit, it is just impossible to recognize all of the memory. You will typically see 3.5GB give or take a few hundred MB.. it all depends on your configuration I believe. I'm no expert tho, just know what I read

You're correct.  A 32 bit OS can only recognize 2^32 bits of memory, or 4,294,967,296 bits.  If you divide this number by 1024^2 you come out with 4096 megabytes, then Windows steals half a gig for overhead or somethin, I was never quite clear on the reason for that one...

A 64 bit OS can recognize up to 18446744100000000000 (18 quintillion) bits (1.84467441 × 10^19), which is...well, it's almost 17 billion GB of RAM...suffice to say, I can't imagine that we'll ever need a 128 bit OS!   Then again, that would really be more than 640 kilobytes ;) 

It's kind of sad that NTFS supported 64 bit in 1993, and 32 bit is still the most common platform.  Imagine where we could be today...

Solid rec. on the RAM.. for 1066 (your mobo should support em)

Good deal here on 1066 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220284 

Decent mem.. be aware that it's CL5. They're plenty of kits for less that will outperform the skill set. Take a look around - plenty of kits under $100 that will smoke the skill... I'll link other sites only on PM.

GL- Red

These are CL4s (2 x 2Gbs DDR2 800) cheaper than the GSkill:

Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC24G6400LLK - Retail $78 after MIR

GeIL 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model GX24GB6400UDCA - Retail $83 after MIR

There's also a couple OCZ kits for the same $$$. Remember though, the Cl is relative, if you're OCing, you may have to kick your RAm back to 5 anyways, for stability reasons.

Personally I think the OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2RPR8004GK - Retail at $60 after MIR is the pretty  pretty deal. (CL5)

But I like G-Skill too though, I've done some nice OCing with it.

Peace, Penewah!

I'm on Pen's boat.. OCZ Reaper is the bomb. Although my case wasn't sent.. got a 15 bone credit for the 5000!
