Is 4GB of RAM worth it on Vista 32?

I currently have 2GB, and think more would help with AoC. I don't want to do a complete OS reinstall to upgrade to Vista 64 though.



 


All Vista 32bit versions will take and support 4gb. But here is the reality of it all.....you will
only see about 3.5gb actually being used. The other .5 is being set aside for some
memory map interfaces like for driver compatibility. If you want to see and use more than
3.5gb than you will have to install MS Vista 64bit version.



 
They way I see it is its so cheap to buy, why not just add the extra 2gb ?? I'm running 4gb on 2 PCs now, and when I bought my last 2gb kit, I paid $180 for it and I was ECSTATIC !! Buffalo Firestix that were good sticks, but its been all 4gb kits for me from here on out.

Not really, unless you run 64-bit apps, or use Photoshop. Supposedly. Photoshop can use all (or close) of 8GB's.
