I have been told that windows 32 bit operating systems
can only utilize 3 or 3.5GB of memory.
Is this true since I was thinking of maxing my 32bit computers memory out with 4GB. And if this is true I will have to consider only 3 or 3.5 instead.
Because that would just be a waste of money to get the 4GB and not beable to use it completely.
Question 2
If I did get the 4GB of memory for this machine would all the linux distro support all 4GB. That is if I installed a 32bit linux distro on this machine instead of a microsoft os would it beable to use 4GB max?
Thanks for any help in clearing this issue up.
