Well... it depends... the first system because its 32 bit can not utilize 4 Gigs of RAM. its something like 3.2 or something like that? I forget.. anyway.. How much RAM does the OS plus all open processes use? we will substract this from the 3.2 gigs... then if I'm not SERIOUSLY mistaken but i read something about this... we ALSO subtract the total amount of Ram of your VIDEO card!!! yes your dedicated NOT onboard but slotted beast of a video card. Then how much ram is left for the game?

Again.. I might be mistaken but I read this somewhere.. might be to do that equal amounts of internal ram is needed to adress the ram inside your video card or something? Please if someone could adress this issue and explain it to me in plain english I will be much obliged.

So in other words a win7 64 bit version has in your example 1 gig more for overhead memory handling.
