Nah, this is unfair, as you also begin to imply chipset support. Hence unneeded
to mention that both MB and chipset have to support +4GB :)
To my experience, adding a load of RAM (and/or a +2GHz procesor) also stresses
the need of a faster disk system. Things usually go hand-in-hand.
One could be abnormally surprised if one experienced the performance of e.g. an old fashioned 2.4GHz Intel Dual Core processor with a disk system consisting of 1
Raptor/boot, 4-disk RAID0 + 4-disk RAID0 on XP Pro, only to mention one example of an A/V system.
Usually more RAM and/or a faster processor is the pick of fashion. But a really
fast disk system kicks the heck out of almost any RAM/CPU-boosted system.

It also explains why you don't get the full 4GB, something which people here
have already mentioned...
