Enjoy the cheap memory, while you can get it. Think back to
all the times it cost you $600 to fill a computer with RAM.
If it doesn't turn out to be that useful to you, hold onto it, and
wait for the price of DDR2 to rise.
Paul
Of course you are correct about the price. Not being an expert I just do
not know if the extra memory will mess things up somehow. Will it?
Is it true that my Windows XP Media center will only use 3G of ram?
Thanks.

The amount of RAM that is available to use is 4 GB address space MINUS
that address space used by your system hardware. Some systems have so
much hardware address space used that only 2.5-2.75 GB is left for RAM
addressing, others 3.5 GB. It ALL depends on what your system is
configured with. There is NO 3 GB limit.

Thank you for explaining.Bob I said:
So, if I understand you correctly, the same system running Windows XP would
have more RAM available for programs if the 4GB are installed than if it
only had 3GB installed. Correct?
Just out of curiosity: how do I find out how much of my present 2G of
installed memory is used up by my hardware?
On my laptop, the video is integrated and I believe uses part of the memory.
Is that a factor?
Thank you very much.

Are you sure? The crucial.com website says:
"32-bit versions of Windows will see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB. To
utilize more memory, install a 64-bit version of your OS".

They dummied down the reason and explaination, it is as I told you. Also
there is no 64 bit version of XP Media Center. There is only a 64 bit
version of XP Pro and it is OEM only. If your motherboard supports 4 GB
of ram, XP(32 bit) will provide RAM for all addresses that are NOT used
up by addressing your installed hardware. It is that simple.

In-line
Potentially, as long as the installed hardware consumed LESS than 1 GB
of address space.
None, the hardware(not refering to Integrated Video which can have
different amounts of shared memory assigned) uses Address space, not
memory.
yes, whatever memory you designate as Video RAM will be unavailable as
System RAM

Thank you.
I ordered the 4G of memory. I was going to anyway, just wanted to
understand better.

Same reason you are. But I started it because you think that you canMalke said:
dictate to someone what they can and can't post. Wrong! I subscribe to
several Ng's and I lurk and I don't post much; but I just love jumping
on idiots like you that think they are in control; when in fact they
aren't. Some one asks a simple question, looking for some help; and a
idiot like you takes the effort to reply; and makes a stupid; useless
comment: : "Ask elsewhere".
I'll read your next childish reply. But no; I won't reply. I think I
made my point! But for slow learners like you it really doesn't matter.
Looking forward to your words of wisdom in your reply.
I enjoy the odd chuckle!

Thank you Eric also for your help. I hope the capacitors are ok, no way of
telling ! The new memory should arrive tomorrow. Which will be Two DDR
sticks of 512 each @ 266MHz The max as stated before is 1GB fitted. I have
been on SDRAM only 512 and when I have some moving graphics on have had
Virtual memory adjustments made by system.
