Al gave you some reasonings. 64 bit on 4 Gig seems a waste unless you need 64 bit OS for a specific app. I think most advice I got said 8 Gig because that seems to always be the jump after 4. 6 Gig sounds weird.

>Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought you needed a 64 bit OS to be able to access more than 4 gig of RAM?
