To be clear:
with 64-bit Windows system, though Civ4 runs on less than 4GB of RAM, it simply give other programs you may have in background space to run their stuff without too much stress on your system and your game. (Afforess, am I about right here?)
I have 8GB RAM with 64-bit Windows 7. I'm playing with 20 civs in the largest map here. I clicked on this new option, Minimize AI turns, and had been satisfied with my game speed and expanse so far. I'm in Industrial era now.

Right.
32bits OS will start with more than 4GB but no matter how much RAM you will add, the amount detected will be limited to 3.6GB. For the system to detect more RAM, you need to use a 64bits OS !

Which is why some software developers have cut support for 32bit operating systems like The Foundry did with MARI. 32bit is just too limited in what you can push your computer to do and handle.

As I recall, Memory Allocation Failures occur due to video card memory running out, not RAM.
Modern Operating systems have a concept of "virtual memory" which allows applications to use more memory than is physically available, and storing infrequently used memory sectors on your hard drive. This prevents outright crashes, but does cause very slow performance, once you run out of physical memory and "virtual" memory from your disk is used instead.
Video graphic cards do not use virtual memory and when all of the memory has been consumed, and an application requests more the "allocation fails", hence the MAF error.

Stop me if I'm wrong. You mean if I increase graphic card memory (upgrading, I mean), there's less chance of MAFs than before?
Plus how do I find out my video card memory memory? My computer came to me without much specifics, whitebox Dell from EBay in 2009 lol. OnLy one thing I upgraded was 4 GB TO 8 GB RAM, that's was all. Easy to find RAM info in System but no idea where to find graphic card memory.

Correct. You can find out your graphic card specs in Windows 7 very easily.
Control Panel -> System -> Windows Experience Index -> View and print detailed performance and system information.
See the graphics line in the table. Mine is:
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680

I've found that in some games rams cannot promote. I haven't played far enough to know if all seige weapons are like this, but I know that they can promote in some games. Anyone know how to fix this?
The issue with Rams is that there aren't any eligible promotions right when it first comes available. You have to wait until Warfare and the Drill I promotion. Then you can get other promos.
I think there might be a bug in how Wonder capacity is currently being calculated. I have a save attached -- it claims to be from v749, but I think it's from later because all of my current additions are included. I think it's 753. Regardless of version, it definitely has the Wonder capacity scaling by culture level, as my capital only has 2 National Wonders allowed, and should only have 3 World Wonders allowed: 2 for Culture Level Developing and +1 for Sphinx, but it has managed to build 4 (Sphinx, Pyramids, Hanging Gardens, Labyrinth). I'm not sure how this could come about.

Have you changed revision during the game? Tooltip says 4 Wonders max but if I recalc it then displays 3 Wonders max (which is correct), although of course you already have 4.

I have had this suggestion on my mind for a while so here goes;
I feel that the ability to chop forests should be available as of the wood working tech as opposed to the bronze working tech. I feel that having to wait till bronze working simply takes too long and that adding chopping to woodworking would actually make more contextual sense.
Any thoughts / suggestions?

I believe that Vokarya has brought this up before, and I agree with it and you too.
We also talked about chopping jungle and having to wait till Iron working. I beleive this was changed to bronze from that discussion but I'm not 100% sure it was done.

There's already "burning" both jungles and forests from start. The techs are for when you can get hammers. So are you arguing for hammer generating from forests and jungles from start?
