you are correct.  When running a system with a 32 bit operating system you only see a maximum of 3.5 GB RAM.  A 64 bit operating system running on 64 bit hardware however will recognize more than 4 GB ram.

Hello all, 

If a motherboard takes more than 4G of ram, say it takes 8, I would need a 64 bit OS to use all 8 G of ram ? And if I use a 32 bit OS, the OS would only be able to see the first 4G of ram on the board ?
