So I've been playing Crysis 2, and its been crashing and it turns out that my video card isn't getting enough RAM (needs about 1 more gig of RAM). Right now I have 4GB of RAM in my computer as is, however I wanted to upgrade (possibly to 8GB because I can get a good deal) so that I can still play Crysis 2. When I looked online it said that Win7 32bit OS are limited to 4 GB of RAM that can be used at a time, regardless of what is in the computer. However, when I told my roommate this (who is helping me with most of this tech stuff) he said that it is possible that because my processor is a dual core, that I would be able to get 8GB of RAM because each core would be able to hold 4GB of RAM individually, making 8 total (as far as I could understand).
I just wanted to know if he was right in his assumption, because he wasn't sure. I want to know that before I order the RAM online if I'll need to upgrade my OS to a 64-bit before the RAM will actually be worth while.
Thanks in advance for helping a computer noob such as myself!
