    I'm currently using 2gb (667) of ram on my system. Is it possible to upgrade that to 3 or 4 gb. Need Reply ASAP, thanks

    Yes, though the OS will only recognize 4gb if you are using Vista64.

    you can install 4gb under xp or vista32bit, I have done it, there is a setting in windows that will recognise the ram, but it does not utilise more than 2GB.

    With 4gb installed on XP it shows as 3.2gb RAM and performs really bad (with large photoshop files) it actually used page filling (virtual RAM) even more.

    my advice any 32bit app 2GB is the most you need any more is a waste, however XP64ed or Vista64 go for it!
