Thanks. So, if the OS is 64bit but all of the applications are 32bit, will the applications still make use of ram greather than 3-4GB or will the 32bit application still be limited since it is 32bit?

Hello,<br />
<br />
&nbsp;I am looking for some direction. How does Memory affect performance compared to the CPU?<br />
<br />
For my question, I would be using a Windows 7 (64bit) computer, and 32bit applications.<br />

Thank you,<br />

Memory and Performance

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.

Windows 7

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.

Desktops

Components are those devices that are internal to a computer -- the PC boards, the central processor (CPU), the memory (RAM), disk and video controllers and so on.
