| Only 64 bits OS support 4GB of ram, in XP/Vista 32bit you cannot access all the system memory in a 4Gb setup |

| For gaming (except Crysis) it's better a fast dual-core than a quad-core. But if you have to change all the pc (and don't have already an AM2/AM2+ motherboard) it's better to go on Intel C2D/C2Q than on AMD X2/Phenom they have greater performance/price ratio |
