6 gigs is a waste for XP.

 

But it sounds like a good deal for what you are getting.

 

I have a 9550 with a 260 video card and I really like it.

6 gigs is a waste for XP.

It mean XP can only use up to maximum 4GB RAM due to 16-bit system (unless you got XP 64 bit system, that is rather unusual). In fact XP 32-bit can use typical approx max 3.8 GB.

Oh ok but 64-bit version can crank it up to 6GB, correct? And i also made a research that GTX 260 is in top five video cards in the world ranking the 5th
