4GB this summer - Yes or no?
Wow haven't paid attention to this thread in a while, but I will be getting more memory thanks to kenc51 who pointed me in the direction of a kit that would work with my existing setup. And I'll go 64-bit just so that 3ds max can finally take advantage of that huge amount of RAM it always wants

All I know is I just tried to install another matched pair of Corsair XMS2 PC6400 on my XBX2 and system only recognized 3.25 gb in Windows (XP Home SP/2 32bit) BIOS saw 4gb. Ran Memtest, no errors, but Windows had random shut downs, so back to 2 gb for now.
I understand 32bit OS is limited to 3 gb, so I tried 3 sticks and it ran, but got a warning on start up that the 3rd stick wasn't going to work in dual channel because it wasn't in a pair so seemed kind of pointless to keep it in.

Well that's the addressing problem rearing its ugly head again...32-bit OSes can address 4GB of memory, but some of that address space is mapped to things like video adapters...that's why I'm going 64-bit once I get this RAM.

By the time you need 4gb you will need a better rig anyway. Might as well just wait and save your money

i think it'd be a blast just to build a completely pimped out board. every slot maxed out you know?
make the ultimate budget pc lol
like a mid-range ASUS or ABIT mobo, 8Gb RAM (corsair value ram of course) a 8800gts 320mb card, and a dual processor
probably an x2 instead of c2d cause its way cheaper now.
c'mon i know people have wondered what on earth its like to have 8Gb of RAM
