xp32 bit will only show 3.25 gigs of ram out of a 4 gig ram(1 gig x 4), now we all know that.

but what would other programs installed in the win xp 32bit be showing??per say games.will it follow what the os is reporting(3.25) or will it follow the true amount we have put in the system??

hooo thx for the info.so doesnt matter what amount you have as long as in 32bit computing even modern games will only use 2GB tops?

From my mobo's spec I see the following statement for the memory.

• Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600* (OC) DRAM, 16GB Max

Want to get more ram for my machine, but after searching from forum there's so many brand, which 1 is preferable ? I do OC abit but not much. Currently looking for 4GB x 2. 4G just not enuf for my usage now ;p

1 more question, I see RAMs nowadays have heat sink as well, are those really helpful ?

y my comp hav a 4gb ram but it says 3.25 usable?

Guys, anyone can share, what kind of RAM should I choose? Which brand is better? BTW, someone told me that better two different ram than 1 ram only.

I mean 2 pieces of RAM 2GB are better than 1 piece of RAM of 4 GB. Is it true? Or just a myth???

Guys, help me choose. Looking for 16GB configuration:

I want to get lower latency but b) doesn't come with 16GB kits. Need to buy 2 pairs. It is advisable for compatibility purpose? or I just settle with a) ? slower but won't worries me.
