More RAM would be better, but 32-bit can only work with 3.5GB.
Be sure to use Sysprep to prepare your Windows installation for transfer to its new home. | |

Edit: I'm going with this RAM: Newegg.com - G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
