I like RAM, lots of it! But right now all I have is 3GB.

I would love more! How on earth can I do this? I've heard about the odd 3GB RAM limit, but some people have said that I could have 4GB in a computer like mine. So what is it, 3 or 4 as the limit???

My System:
2008 Dell 1520 Laptop
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz
3GB DDR2 SDRAM 670MHz
Samsung 226GB HDD
nVIDIA 8600m GT GPU (from Dell, so yeah....)
DVD+-RW
1280x800 matte finish screen
Windows XP-SP3 (32-bit?)

What can I do to add more RAM and speed this machine up even more. Given, it already runs really fast. But I want to know how to make it faster,

Do I add a 64-bit OS alone? Do I need a different prcessor (as if I could find one), Would it be better to just build another computer?

Do i need just one of those changes or a mixture of them?

You tell me. I dont really know the answer to these questions, and I would love to learn. Because one of these days I'm going to build a NICE desktop for work and gaming.
