My PC Compatability ??? Plz help ..advice

You won't be able to use all 4 GB on a 32bit system, only about 3 GB.

Get 8800 Nvidia, its better than 9600, i know coz an expert told me.

Does the expert know 8800 cards are not being sold anymore? Anyway the equivalent of an 8800 should be a GT240-GT250 but these both are more expensive than an 9600GT and -obviously- faster. We just told him the minimum graphics card he needs for most PCSX2 games.
If we're talking about PC games too, I'd say the 9800 has a very nice price/performance ratio.

But then how do i have 4 GB? I guess my machine did the impossible , haha.

Well 8800 was better, if u like it go for 9800, bositman knows more than me if he tested it.

It shows 4 GB because it detects them. If you check the properties of my computer you will see Windows notes there how much is actually usable.

Well, ill feel bad if i test it, so ill leave it at that atm.

Yeah that's totally right friend, Only 3 GB of RAM is usable in 32 Bit, it shows 4GB Installed RAM but 32 Bit system only uses Maximum 3GB of RAM.

I really appreciate your advice Costas84 and Bositman. I am going to buy GT9600 or may be GT9800 and will buy first one module of 2GB DDR2 RAM; if wouldn't work then will buy another unit of 2GB DDR2 Module.

I am having 64bit Windows 7 ultimate, that will surely work then !

Thank you so much once again !
