Just like someone up above said, with a 32 bit system it will only utilize about 4 gig of ram. With your operating system taking up about 1 gig that only leaves 3 gig for processing. Now with programs like adobes premier pro, after effects, lightroom, and photoshop being so ram hungry you will need more ram to get things done at any descent rate of speed. So load your motherboard up with ram, it's cheap right? Wrong your 32 bit system will still only see 4 gig of ram no matter how much you actually have. Now it's time in this graphic rich world we live in to go out and get a computer capable of 64 bit. Then it's time to purchase your windows 7 in 64 bit and last but not least you can load that board up with ram and hoo-ya you have a screamin system (at least way faster than your old 32 bit. Trust me you'll love it!
