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.

How much ram can be supported by different windows operating systems?
The amount of RAM is actually dependent upon the instruction set architecture. For instance: Windows 7 Ultimate, Enterprise, and Professional 32bit can only support 4GB of RAM, while the 64bit version can handle 192GB. Operating System | 32bit | 64bit 7 Ultimate | 4GB | 192GB 7 Enterprise | 4GB | 192GB 7 Professional | 4GB | 192GB 7 Home Premium | 4GB | 16GB 7 Home Basic | 4GB | 8GB 7 Starter | 2GB | N/A Vista Ultimate | 4GB | 128GB Vista Enterprise | 4GB | 128GB Vista Professional | 4GB | 128GB Vista Home Premium | 4GB | 16GB Vista Home Basic | 4GB | 8GB Vista Starter | 1GB | N/A XP | 4GB | 128GB XP Starter Edition | 512GB | N/A Hope this helps :D(my formatting messed up, so that explains why it might be an eyesore)

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
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.

In short: No Longer Answer: There is probably a way to get another OS on the xbox 360 but the xbox 360 does not meet windows 8.1 system requirement's. A minimum of 1Gb of RAM is required to run windows 8.1 (32bit, 2Gb for 64bit) and the xbox360 only has 512Mb. You also need 16Gb(32bit) or 20Gb(64bit) hard drive space so that the arcade version out.
