Don't buy 4GB of RAM if you use Windows and take lots of photos.

So I knew that the Microsoft RAW image thumbnailer didn't work for XP x64. Fine, I can live without that. But today I find that their Color Management Control Applet doesn't work either? Lame!

And people who manipulate tons of photos would be one of the first to benefit from having 4GB of memory... What are they thinking?

It's probably time for me to just bite the bullet and install 32-bit XP. Or buy a mac again, or something.

How do people tolerate this crap? A quick peek at newegg shows that 2GB of DDR2 800 RAM is now $65! I mean come on, everyone and their dog is going to have at least 4GB of RAM soon. Do people really just install 4GB of RAM, and then deal with only being able to access 3GB (or whatever number determined by your BIOS) of it?
