Hello becko:

1) you can only install 64-bit Windoze if you have 4GB (or more).
2) I recently started running this OS with 6GB. All of my older
examples which used a lot of memory (for graphics or imported data)
run much faster now.
3) the best improvement is that File-Saves which occasionaly were
interminable (sic?) are now completed in a reasonable (if not short)
period of time.

I will probably go to 8GB soon.
