    Default Quick RAM Question.

    I'm running Vista home basic 32-bit. Is my RAM capacity limited to 3 MB like it was in XP 32-bit? I currently have 4 MB and would like to add more but I'm not sure my OS can even use it.

    Like Ron said, only 64 bit supports more than 3GB, though whether or not 32 bit actually supports more than 2GB has been a topic of hot debate.

    Not worth buying RAM if you are stuck at a 32bit OS. Good read:
