[QUOTE="aroy, post: 366844, member: 16090"] If you take into account the other memory mapped resources - Video, Bios etc, then practically you can directly access around 3GB. But you can always create a virtual disk with the excess RAM (that was how we used extra RAM even in DOS days), and that is much faster than even SSD. It is only when an application that is designed for 64 bit systems and uses a lot of RAM that it makes sense to increase the RAM. The best method of checking RAM usage is to start the Task Manager and see how much of the 8GB or 16GB is used by all programs, and how much by a particular program. [/QUOTE]
