An uninformed person might hear about console games that run at a resolution lower than 1920x1080 and think the NVIDIA model number somehow correlates with the maximum supported resolution, such that you can't get 1080p in a game unless you have a 1080 Ti.

My recommendation for a PC with RAM that small is to add more.
Until you look it up and find that all of your motherboard's RAM slots are filled with the largest module the chipset will recognize. One of my PCs had two slots and took modules up to 256 MB. Another had one slot and took modules up to 2 GB. The one I'm on now has two slots and takes modules up to 2 GB.

But does the chipset run at byte address granuarity? I thought with a 32-bit RAM word size, the address lines would be A33-A2, allowing 8 GB, not A31-A0.
