    Don't mean to put you's down, but 128GB of Ram is a ridiculous amount! the only application for that amount is in a very big server! but 4Gb is still quiet a bit for a home PC anyway!

    Is there any definitive answer on this? 3.25 the absolute max?

    There's usually a tweak in the BIOS settings that makes the full 4 gigs usable.

    Have you not read the rest of the thread? 4GB is the max for 32-bit OSes. It might appear that it has 3.xGB, but all 4GB are bing used.

    AFAIK, the BIOS tweak is for 64-bit OSes want to address more than 4GB of space.
