32-bit may refer to different things. Assuming the addressing is 32-bit, the machine can access 232 bytes, that is, 4 GB of RAM.

What is the optimal page file for 4096 gb?

The maximum usable pagefile for windows xp is 4gb The maximum usable pagefile for windows vista 32bit, is also 4gb. Now if you use XP or Vista 64 bit version, then the maximum is 32gb. Normally the ideal pagefile is exactly 1.5 times the amount of ram set for both maximum and minimum. So 512mg of ram, 768 should be the max and min pagefile setting. But since the 32 bit operating system is limited to 4gb, you should set it to 4096 max and min.

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

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

Is 3 gb great memory for a laptop?

It depends upon the type of operating system and if the laptop can support the amount of memory. Most versions of Windows are 32BIT. This simply means they can "see" a maximum of 4GB of memory. 64BIT versions of Windows can see past that 4GB limitation. Most computers will only see 3.5GB out of 4 (even if 4 is installed) SO, 3GB is very close to the maximum amount that most computers can see. It is also very close to what most versions of Windows will see. Therefore, 3GB is probably GREAT for a laptop.
