I was just mucking around, mix and matching all the goodies.

whoa, looks like a lot of stuff, how much did you pay for all of that ? :|

[excal]

He was just making an ultimate dream machine

[dekoyl]

^ Yes, I was.
Like I said I was mucking around.

I forgot the price but it may be somewhere around $13,000.

Damn. Can u give me ur 8gb ram?
Thanks

[dekoyl]

I wish I had 8GB. (I just planned by dream machine - haven't/can't buy anything yet).
The most RAM I have in a single computer in this household is 1

[excal]

No point having anything more than 4GB.

A 32-bit OS / machine can only address bytes of memory which = 4GB. Windows takes a bit more for I/O addressing space and VRAM.

Unless you're planning on using a 64-bit OS that is, in which case you can address up to, theoretically, bytes of memory = 16 exabytes (for the curious, this is about 17.2 billion GB).

that's not worth our eyes to look at

EDIT: clarified language

Wait does that mean a 32 bit can only go upto 4gb while a 64 bit can go upto 17.2billion GB?

In theory, yes (of addressable memory).

In practice, it's usually somewhat less due to other factors.
