I'm now of the
opinion that the default choice should be 64 bits unless the user has
some important application that can't run on a 64 system.
Although I'd agree with you here, I don't see how this is related to
this thread? After all, the OP's laptop seems to be an IA32 machine.

I didn't read his post closely enough although I'm surprised that that
a 32 bit laptop can hold 4G. Laptops only have 2 slots so you need 2G
DIMMS which are only available in DDR2.
I have a data*** from Micron where they claim to make DDR memory in 1
GByte, 2 GByte, and 4 GByte units.

MT36VDDT12872 ­ 1GB
MT36VDDT25672 ­ 2GB
MT36VDDT51272 ­ 4GB

at these speeds:

PC1600 or PC2100

Is there a 32 bit processor that
supports DDR2? I thought the all 32 bit systems were DDR not DDR2.

Those are registered DIMMS for servers not laptops

I do not know what laptops use. It happens I use registered DIMMS fom my
desktop, but it is not a laptop. If they make registered ones, they might
make unregistered ones as well, though I did not look.
