    i am gonna have 4 gig of ram so i was wondering whether the effort for drivers is as much of a hassle as it is meant to be. are the benefits worth it?

     Just from personal experience not for me I finally ended up scrapping my whole system and reinstalling XP pro. Unless your going over 4 GB I don't think it's worth it. Yeah they say XP only see like 3.4 gigs in 32 bit and Vista 64 will see more. XP still makes use of that extra .6 gigs.

    if you run 32bit you wont be able to use 4gb or ram, simple as that....
