What is word length on host machine?

You're talking about words which mean two bytes (16 bits), right? Common computers nowadays are 32bit-based architecture, or what's the same: 2 words. That means a computer with a 1GHz clock timing will do up to 1 million operations per second. But newer computers are 64bit-based (I think that's where your question comes from) so at first you think: the double... now what? Well, operations are defined in 32 bits, thus in the same time, your 32bit computer does ONE operation, the other 64bit computer finishes TWO. With the same clock timing (1GHz) your new computer does 2 million operations. Cool, huh? If you, at the same time, give the computer more RAM memory and newer hard disk, your machine will go amazingly fast! Hope you understand my reply (sometimes I get a bit technical). Tell me if I can help you somehow.

What determines what type and how much RAM you can use in the system?

Your motherboard in your PC determines what RAM standard your PC can handle. You can usually find this information on the manufactures website or try a Google search of the make and model of the PC. Further, most PCs can run any brand of ram as long as the memory standard matches what the system uses. Most modern PCs manufactured 2006 - 2008 use standard DDR2 memory. Laptops also have the same speed and standards as desktop memory, HOWEVER, laptop memory is much shorter than desktop memory. (different physical size..) Higher speed memory is backwards compatible with lower speed memory as long as the same standard is used (DDR, DDR2, DDR3, etc..) Example: if your PCs memory standard is DDR2 533 you should be able to use DDR2 800 just fine. All the installed memory will run at the same speed (lowest spec installed). DDR2 800 is manufactured in HUGE quantities and is the cheapest memory on the market right now (2008).... As cheap as memory is right now (4GB DDR2 800 usually goes for about $50) you should max your PCs ram out for best performance. RAM really makes a HUGE impact of how fast your PC performs. One more thing to think about: Operating systems can also limit the maximum amount of usable ram. All 32 bit operating systems are limited to a max of 3.5GB of ram. **You will need a 64 bit OS to be able to use more than 3.5GB of ram.** Most XP installs are 32 bit -- XP and Vista both come in 32bit and 64bit. In Windows, if you right click "My Computer" and then click "Properties" you will see how much ram you have installed and if you have x86 (32bit) or x64 (64bit) OS.

Does Quake 4 run on Windows 7?

Yes, but it's broken. Quake 4 can be installed on a win7-64 machine by using setup.exe, autoplay crashes right away. By default, Quake 4 will run...terribly. My machine on XP sp2 could run the starting level well on medium at 800x600. Now on 7-64bit, same hardware, it runs with poor framerate at the lowest settings, and the AI is broken. You can't get passed the first level because the medic won't follow you, only runs around in circles. I have not been able to find any patches. Microsoft's site claims it is compatible with win7-32bit, but not win7-64bit
