I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 with 1GB RAM. ugh, so max addressable would
be 3GB RAM? Still it might be worth the $40 or so bucks to increase RAM by
50%.

You have a video card with 756mb of ram in it? Remember it is 4gb of
addressable memory anywhere for 32 bit os. So any devide that has memory
no matter how small is counted. Ram gets last dibs on the addressable
memory.

I have a 5-year old PC that is humming along just fine using XP SP3.
The

or will my board actually see the 8GB RAM with XP SP3? I doubt it will,
but just wanted to throw it out there, see what you guys think.
Currently I have 2 x 1GB DDR2-800 RAM Patriot brand. There are two more
DIMM slots available. Should I toss the 5-yr old sticks and get 2 x 2GB
RAM or just add 2 more 1GB sticks? RAM is cheap enough now that in this
case the cost isn't a major issue.
thanks!
