To add a little something to the thread, The 4gb limit of 32 bit systems means that's all the memory it can address total. It's not how much system ram you can actually have. You have to take into account video card ram and other things into account too. I know this thread isn't exactly about that but it's info that saved me some money when I was about to max out my old 32bit system with 4gb of DDR ram and really only had room for about 3 gigs.
Problem is solved for a while with 64 bit systems though.. I think the limit to those is 16 exabytes.. I wonder if that limit will be hit in my lifetime.
