yeah but if I get 4GB I'll have to get 64bit OS. I love firefox and it doesn't work well with Windows 7 64 bit. :S


Not necessary.. The 32 bit edition will detect as much as 3.5 GB out of the 4 GB.. So you'll be under no loss.. Besides, your desktop and application experiences will be lot smoother so it is worth the investment..

Yeah, for use all the 4GB u need a x64 OS, or keep ur current 32 bits OS and only use 3.5GB that is the max that a 32 bits OS can use.

For Firefox, isn't necessary go with Firefox x64. One of the big things of the x64 OS is that u can run x86 (32 bits) and x64 applications without problems, so, u can install Firefox 32 bits on the x64 OS and will run without problems.

Where did you hear this? I've been using FF with 64 bit for the last 5 years and it's been flawless.
