also note: a 32bit operating system can only address up to around 3gb

If you add more ram, it cannot use it or see it.

Yeah you can put more than 4gigs but as Tedster mentioned a 32bit Version will detect approximately 3.5Gb maximum so if you have 4Gb RAM you will need to buy a 64bit Windows version any XP/Vista for it to detect and use all the RAM.

So if you don't want to buy another OS (64bit) then I will recommend you a 3 to 3.5GBRAM and don't mind Vista will work well on 3GB(if you will use Vista) and Win XP will be fantastic.
