My E6300 system has 2gb, the E4300 has 1gb, the AMD X2 3800 has 2gb, the AMD 3000 has 1 gb and my laptop has 2gb.

I know, I know, why do I have so many computers, well, its my hobby.  I like to build computers, overclock them and play games.

For those who are still confused about whether 32-bit XP will use 4GB RAM - yes it will. It will not show 4GB available, but it will be using it. This is because the 'available ram' value it shows is the 'ram' available to a single virtual-machine and that will not be the full 4GB.

Processes and Address Spaces

All processes (e.g. application executables) running under 32 bit Windows gets virtual memory addresses (a Virtual Address Space) going from 0 to 4,294,967,295 (2*32-1 = 4 GB), no matter how much RAM is actually installed on the computer.

In the default Windows OS configuration, 2 GB of this virtual address space are designated for each process’ private use and the other 2 GB are shared between all processes and the operating system.  Normally, applications (e.g. Notepad, Word, Excel, Acrobat Reader) use only a small fraction of the 2GB of private address space.  The operating system only assigns RAM page frames to virtual memory pages that are in use. 

Physical Address Extension (PAE) is the feature of the Intel 32 bit architecture that expands the physical memory (RAM) address to 36 bits (see KB articles 268363 and 261988).  PAE does not change the size of the virtual address space, which remains at 4 GB, just the amount of actual RAM that can be addressed by the processor.

The translation between the 32 bit virtual memory address used by the code running in a process and the 36 bit RAM address is handled automatically and transparently by the computer hardware according to translation tables maintained by the operating system.  Any virtual memory page (32 bit address) can be associated with any physical RAM page (36 bit address).

Here's a list of how much RAM the various Windows versions and editions support (as of Nov 2004):

     Windows NT 4.0: 4 GB
     Windows 2000 Professional: 4 GB
     Windows 2000 Standard Server: 4 GB
     Windows 2000 Advanced Server: 8GB
     Windows 2000 Datacenter Server: 32GB
     Windows XP Professional: 4 GB
     Windows Server 2003 Web Edition: 2 GB
     Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition: 4 GB
     Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition: 32 GB
     Windows Server 2003 Datacenter Edition: 64 GB

So the hardware will run the 4Gigs for what it is and not get screwed over by Windows. That always made more sense to me, but up till now that wasnt the story from the 'experts'. Good find, +1 to m8

Not enough!!!!
512Mb single channel DDR333 (I think)

Can play everything on lowest as long as I turn off every other program on the PC, and still lags like shit.

Edit: I know my computer sucks when I can boast about how crap it is.
