    Hi guys,

    I have question,

    Win 32bit system , that RAM max support 3GB, is base XP PRO SP3 ?

    how about Win.7 ?

    Win 7 is 2 version (32bit and 64bit ?)
    if choose win.7 (32bit) , can support over 3GB ram ? I installed 6GB RAM.

    All 32 bit OS systems are the same - the limit on RAM is 4 Gb. It is a restriction of the 32 bit system.

    If you want to use all of the 6 Gb you should choose 7 x64.

    1: NO, there's no 64-bit version available for Starter.

    2: The other 3GB go wasted (unused). Maybe you can use a RAM disk, but that's quite useless anyway.
