My chip set Intel® NM10 Express has the capability to host 4GB of ram yet the Intel® Atom™ N450 Processor Max ram says it can only host 2GB of ram is there a technical reason this would not work and if not can someone give me some pointers as to how to make it work. Looking to build a Linux Mint laptop out of a netbook and would like to make it as useful as possible and 2 GB of RAM just isn't enough in this world especially at the 667 mhz this chipset runs at.

That model can only hold up to 2GB max, DDR2 sticks. It has one channel.

If your machine is capable of running 64-bit then use it. 2GB of RAM is plenty for Ubuntu, the marginally larger memory footprint of 64-bit won't be noticed at all.

Thanks Just wanted to know if it were possible. Thought possibly it was a windows thing as most use windows 7 starter which has a logical block on anything over 2 GB. It's a licensing thing. Is it due to a hardware issue like the number of bits addressable on the chip to ram or is it a logic issue as well.

Also the Intel® Atom™ N450 Processor has only one core but two thread and says that it can use a 64 bit instruction set though it can run a 64 bit OS would it be faster or more stable to just run a 32 bit as it only has one core?
