	Shit the bed, can you get Quad Core processors and 4GB Ram for £500 these days?! :!

	quote: Originally posted by Steve 32bit supports up to 4gb a 32bit processor supports up to 4GB worth of addresses, 0x00000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF, and it's because most pci devices are memory mapped (processor reads/writes to x memory address location to access x device) which is why with 4GB of ram on a 32bit processor you'll see roughly 3-3.5GB. Most modern '32bit' processors though (i think intel does) supports PAE which means the processor is actually 36bits - allowing you to see the full 4GB of ram, but i believe only windows server 2003 supports the use of PAE. In short - get a 64bit processor to see 4gb ram under XP 64bit or Vista 64bit :thumbs: [Edited on 23-01-2008 by Dom]

	Why 4GB RAM, you running 64 bit Vista?

	Reduce the size of hard drive and upgrade to either SAS, or scsi you will notice the difference no end.

	Im looking for a new PC at work and obviously want something very good for myself. What im ideally looking for is decent dual core or Quad core and 4gb or RAM. The rest is irrelevant. Ive found this reasonable price from Dell, but wondered if anyone knew of a similar spec machine for better price? £500 is the budget.
