My system specs are in signature.
I want to upgrade my RAM for:
a) performance
b) future upgrade to either 64bit or vista
c) because I have the money and I can
With that said, since I am currently on XP 32bit, should I upgrade my RAM with 2x512MB or go ahead and do 2x1GB and get the full 4GB. I know 32bit doesn't recognize all 4GB, but it doesn't hurt to have that excess, right? I remember seeing screenshots of people for 4GB and only 3.0-3.5GB would be shown/utilized.
I guess I'm kind of answering my own question because it seems as though it's best to go ahead and get the 2x1GB because it'll get me about ~1.5GB more RAM and secure me utilizing 4GB of RAM in the future with XP 64bit or Vista.
I just like to ask you guys for verification
