Any opinions about my plans for game renovation? RAM Update!
kazebird:
How much RAM can an Intel Core 2 Duo handle?
I know the amount of RAM usable is directly related to the amount of cores your system has.
Marhis:
I have the same iMac with 4 Gb RAM. On Bootcamp, though, Win XP sees only 2 Gb, so I guess it would be the correct amount.
Pyromaniac:
I have the same problem using LD's more deco slots, but there's an easy workaround. Tapping 'm' on your keyboard will 'unstick' the wall hanging and make it behave normally again. Or you could just move the deco-affected object out of the way for the time being, place the wall hanging, and move it back.

I don't think the number of cores is the limiting factor. My understanding is that it depends on if it's a 32-bit or 64-bit processor. If you have a 32-bit processor OR a 32-bit operating system you are physically limited to addressing no more than 4 GB of RAM. Other factors may reduce the amount you can actually use. If you have a 64-bit processor AND a 64-bit operating operating system you can theoretically address a ridiculously huge amount of RAM.
Core 2 Duos come in both 32 and 64-bit flavors, I believe. I have no idea if Macs and/or the MAC OS are 64-bit or not, as Macs annoy me.
The Sims 2 with multiple expansions under 1 MB of RAM was usable but borderline annoying on my old XP machine. RAMs are cheap. You will like them.
Marhis:
All Macs have the Intel Core 2 Duo 64 bit processor, Mac OS X handles 64bit natively. My XP is probably 32 bit, that's why I can only use 2 Gb in Windows.
BTW, is it possible to upgrade an XP 32 bit to a 64 bit one officially (I mean legally, non pirating)?
ETA: forgot the "?"
