32-bit Windows doesn't notice more than 3 GB RAM.
Great gifts, though.

Thanks for the comments.
Yes, I know I need win 7 64 bit. This was my stock computer I got 3 years ago as a gift. My last card was a NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE Video. However, three years of high-graphics games have word in down to be lagging on games for windows freaking 95.

Or windows XP, It's a huge upgrade from vista. It's also quite a lot faster and less resource intensive than windows 7, while being more compatible with the programs that make getting windows worth it in the first place.

No! No! I will not massacre my children. Instead, I'll make them corpulent on crappy mass-produced quarry bush biscuits and questionably grown mushroom alcohol, and then send them into the military when they turn 12...

Apparently, 32-bit can use up to 64 GB of RAM, but vista/7 block it, and they removed the functionality for it on XP in SP2.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
and http://www.geoffchappell.com/viewer.htm?doc=notes/windows/license/memory.htm (possibly outdated, wikipedia page's reference #2).

Don't think I'm missing anything. It's nice to know a guy who builds computers for a living. He has connections with the parts' manufacturers. It's a beefy motherfucker.

I like to slip into bear caves around midnight and gently caress the carnivore inside before leaving a small cut of fresh fish and sneaking out.
