Nah there's older ones that are slower. I'm on a PC with SD-RAM right now which is the one before DDR.

Well, Basically what i need is a PC that can handle games & HD video editing no problem. Any recommendations?

4GB RAM then. 8GB if you're buying expensive RAM to go in an expensive motherboard.

The Mac Pro has a maximum of 32GB ram.

Windows xp only registers 3gb of ram no matter what ;)

Lol ok. Get an x64 version running and i think it'll be a different story. Also, have an integrated graphics card on an x86 and you'll be able to use 4GB. Apparantly there's also a way to make the 32-bit emulate a 36-bit meaning 64GB RAM on a 32-bit.

32GB Will not slow down your server, it will just choke your wallet for about $5000 USD

Go for 16GB and save 3000.

Actually it would cost only $1200 for 32GB.

Ummm. No, your wrong. It costs atleast $400 for one 4GB stick.

Unless you think that an 8-core can hold 16 sticks? That would be really embarassing.

Edit: If your multitasking especially rendering videos/graphics, 16GB is baseline for extreme tasks.

DDR-DDR3 makes a big difference; DDR2-3 does not.

I suggest x8 2GB sticks depending on your uses.
