Just when we thought that having 2GB of RAM in a computer would be sufficient then comes along Vista, new high end games, and budding video editors using the PC. All these things love to eat up every byte of RAM we have. Well Mushkin offers a 4GB kit of RAM that will not break the bank and offer excellent performance. The product in the spotlight this time is the Mushkin 4GB HP2-6400 DDR2 RAM which consist of two 2GB sticks (MMMmm). Windows XP 32-bit is limited to a total of 4 GB, which is, by default, equally divided between Kernel and application usage. Using the /3GB switch in the boot.ini file forces Windows to limit the kernel to the upper 1GB and provides up to 3GB for applications. Windows XP x64 can support much more memory; although the theoretical memory limit a 64-bit computer can address is about 16 Exabyte. The primary benefit of moving to 64-bit is the increase in the maximum allocatable system memory (RAM).
