I got that point, it's a given that all devices with memory are going to restrict
how much of 4GB can be mapped available as RAM. SO if you have 4GB total, 3.5GB
usable; 3GB total, 3GB usable since there's 1GB of mapping left over for video ram.

Yes, it supports a 4GB map, but that wasn't my issue. I wrote that

If you are running 32 bit OS, then a one GB card will take another
512megs of addressable memory.
this means if you are currently showing 3GB of RAM with a 512meg
video card, and you
do all cards @ 1 gig draw memory from the system ? or is it related to 32 bit
os somehow.
I seen a lot of cards that do that but did not think all did.
thanks

In a 32 bit system there is only so many memory addresses = 4GB
worth. Then you start

No, it's a 4GB wide address space so you'd loose nothing @3GB of RAM with a
512-1024MB card.

Rick,
I went and read the link. It is EVGA. In the last 2 yrs I have had spotty
service from EVGA video cards. I have RMA'd 3/5, and just tossed
2/5. But, to EVGA's credit, their RMA process is somewhat solid, even
though I do not care for their 14-day RMA window! Still their RMA process
Love the moronic review:
Pros: plug n play, its from evga, can play some games ok
Cons: fanless gets hotter than the sun
Other Thoughts: could be worse could be ati.
I'm not up on PowerColor but this is a great price break on a decent ATI card:

I have not burned any trons in the new toy.
It is mostly built. Do not care for the HS/Fan already!
It will be the very first update.
Still reading and deciding.
Wish for a smooth move from old to new.
Perhaps later. I'll post here when it happens.
I remember when this last happened. It was 2001.
