It uses 3.7 Gb or something close to that. Every else is not used.

No it can't. 32 bit architecture can only access 2^32 memory locations, or 4294967296 memory locations. (4gb)

How much memory does Google SketchUp take?

The amount of memory (RAM) Google SketchUp or any other design tool out there is using, is relative to the complexity of the model you are working on. Ideally, the more the better, but that is also Operating system (OS) limited: - Sketchup is a 32bit application. - Windows 32bit cannot address (use) more than 3GB or RAM (3.2GB, but w/e). Having more than 3GB (or 4GB, still you cannot use all of it) in a 32bit Windows Machine is pointless. Macs work a bit differently, so even 32bit OS can address more than that. - Individual Applications are not allowed by 32bit Windows to use address more than 2GB of RAM. - Windows 64bit, by default, run 32bit Applications (like Sketchup) with the same 2GB limitation, only that can be "patched", so each can use up to 4GB (64bit apps do not have such limiations, but SU is not one of them yet). You can follow the guide in this site to do so: http://maketecheasier.com/increase-memory-limit-for-32-bit-applications-in-windows-64-bit-os/2011/08/13


Do you need 32bit or 64bit for 4gb of ram?

You can use either a 32bit or 64bit operating system (OS) for 4GB of RAM. 4GB of memory is the limit a 32bit OS can handle, this includes any memory that your graphics card has, so your computer may recognise only 3.5GB of RAM if you have a 512MB GPU. You will need a 64bit os that will use all of the ram.


What memory allows you to use more memory than is physically available on your computer?

Virtual


Although ECC memory costs more than non-ECC memory why would you chose to use it?

It is more reliable.


What term does AMD use to describe the processor technology that uses a 64-bit instruction set with 32bit internal core processing?

Extended Memory 64 Technology


Comparison between windows 16 bit 32 bit?

Most modern operating systems are either 32 bit or 64 bit but it mostly has to do with memory coding. 32bit can utilize a maximum or 4gb or RAM due to the amount of numbers it uses to identify a location on the RAM (32 numbers). 64 bit can use far more memory (over 128gb) while 16 bit can use far less (not sure of exact numbers) Anything you buy today should be at least 32bit if not 64 bit


Which is the fastest a 64 bit CPU 32 bit CPU 16 bit CPU?

64bit, It can use more than 3gb of ram, while 32bit can utilise only 3gb.


What ram can be put on a Windows xp?

Whatever memory your motherboard can support but a 64bit version of Windows is needed to manage more than 4GB of RAM. Generally people use 32bit version ram for all the Windows Operating Systems. So for that it is enough to have 1GB ram. I think 1 GB ram is more than enough for it. In case If you prefer to choose a 32 Bit version of Windows 7 Then you have to upgrade your hardware to 1GB or more than that.


Although ERC memory costs more than non-ECC memory why would you chose to use it?

Because it is more reliable and is generally used on servers.


Why are desktops more common than laptops?

Desktops are more faster and can use allot of memory Versus laptops


I have a Dell inspiron 1525 with a Pentium Dual Core t4200 2.00GHz and 2GB of RAM. and am using windows 7 32bit. Can I put more RAM memory in your laptop?

Yes, you can go up to 4 Gbs. Even so you will able to use only 3.25 GBs of installed memory. It's a natural limitation of 32 bit systems.


Although ECC memory cost more than non-ecc memory why would you chose to use it?

You should use ECC memory because is uses an extra bit pre byte which is used for error checking and correctionn even though it is more cosly. Also, it is more reliable
