Hi

I own a Toshiba Satellite A200-AH5 with 1 gig of Ram and I was serioursly thinking of upgrading with a set of Kingston Hyper X 667MHz 4 gig pair.
The OS is Windows XP 32 bit (with SP3) and although I know it won’t utilize all 4 gigs due to the 32 bit limitations I was wondering if it is still beneficial to run with 4 gigs,instead of installing a
3 gig set (2 + 1gig).
The reason why I was heading towards a 4 gig set up is since it is a equal pair of modules I hope it will still run at Hyper Threading mode even if it utilizes only 3 gigs.
