That is an excellent point that I had not considered.  Thanks!

Perhaps the "a bit over 3gb" is all I get for usable ram due to the onboard
video.  I have no idea how much that takes up -- there is a setting in the bios
for it and I just set it to use the maximum because I have a 22" wide-screen
monitor and figured it could use all it can get.

Great thought.
