It advised me that since I am running Windows XP Home Edition and that I am running at 32 bits, then I could only upgrade to 3.0 to 3.5 GB. Does this sound right to you? If so, how hard would it be to upgrade to a 64 bit system? Thanks and sorry about all the questions!This sounds about right, but it also sound like more RAM than you need for a 32 bit system, especially 32 bit Windows.Generally, 2 GB of RAM is more than enough for Windows XP Home. Any more RAM than 2GB probably won't give you any significant performance gains. Unless you're running multiple memory-intensive applications you probably will not need more than 2GB of RAM for the time being.As for upgrading to 64-bit Windows: unless you're going with OS X, don't do it. Microsoft has really dropped the ball on 64-bit, and Vista is a kludge, at best.Do you guys have any suggestions for William?Want to embed our How Much RAM is Enough? video in your blog?
