I am using 1gigs already for windows and games can use up to 900 so I get crashes a lot. Really need to get 4gigs that's compatible with my motherboard.
GTA4 is just a poorly coded port from Console or am I wrong? I think no matter what system you have by todays standards it will never play smoothly..
Metro 2033 gets my vote
ja thats true, thats why if you running it on full then you know you have a good system
Yeah, I can't turn textures on high in GTA IV with only 2GB of RAM. However I can run Crysis on max without any stutter, so it really depends on the game. I play most games nearly maxed out without any issues.

Problem is once you go above 2gb you head into the murky world of how much ram can XP actually use......
and I really don't want to purchase and install Windows 7.

I ran XP for a long time - noticed a difference in speed going from 2-3gb, then from 3-4gb, even on a 32-bit system. Most noticeable was the lag in closing or starting up a game for instance. And framerates improved as well.

It's funny though, since Win XP (stock install) shouldn't be capable of handling more than 2GB of RAM. With some tweaking you can get it up to 3GB - but that's the max it can handle, or use, as far as I know.
