Do you know anyone who uses 32 bit and has a m/b that even supports
that much RAM?

Or more than say, 4gb?

Personally, if I had that much RAM (my present MB has 2 gb, and only 2
slots, so I have to take out the existing memory, and say put 2 8 gig
sticks (if available) to do 16 gig for instance.

But I wouldn't even bother putting a 32-bit version on it.
