Last time I priced out DDR2 it was too expensive to consider adding more
ram!

This really depends on your long term plans for the system.
Personally I would put in 4 more GB of memory (DDR2 is not going to get
any cheaper, and it's been going up in price).
Once you move to a "new" rig, you can put linux on this box, which has
many 64 bit native variants, that will see and use all 6GB of memory.
The extra 3GB will just sit unused.

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.

FWIW my XP box with 4gb ram sees 3.25 of it. Bios on post sees it all.

I have a 5-year old PC that is humming along just fine using XP
SP3. The
board is an EVGA nForce 680i which NewEgg says will support up to
8GB RAM:

I have always thought that XP will only "see" 4G RAM> Is this true
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!
