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

quote: 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] | |

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