To be clear, it is a matter of what the hardware supports (and is independant of software, so if the hardware can use more/larger sticks of RAM then whether you are running a 32 or 64 bit OS is irrelavent).

according to the page you linked to the intel 945 chipset that is on the motherboard LIMITS the TOTAL CPU addressable ram to 2gb.

to expand the ram PAST 2gb you NEED to replace the motherboard as well, so do NOT attempt to upgrade the ram past 2gb unless you re-build the machine(ie change motherboard,cpu & ram)

What is normally the map sizes/graphical effects you use?

 

I play 90% of my sins with my intel atom (win7) netbook that has 2gb ram, with minimum graphics except for ship details on medium and mesh lighting, and i can play medium maps to the late game without any slowdowns...

 

so unless you set graphics at the highest and use huge maps you should not notice much difference from your current setup and a newer system....

As good a place to ask,

Am I wasting my time shutting down unneeded programs in Task Manager? XP

And giving Sins high priority?

Anyone know?

closing the task can help free ram and cpu time for the game unless the task is one like norton virus that likes to grab 50% of a computer, and increasing the priority will help the performance, but both will be minor improvements.
