maybe because 32 system dose not support 4Gb instead it is lowering down ddr from 4Gb to 3.something
Yeah, I'm not really worried about the System RAM. Depending on what is used to view the 'available' RAM, I've got 3.2 or 3.51 GB available. And, more importantly, all 4 sticks are running in Dual Channel mode.

That simply meant that the GPU is the limiting factor and not the other components like the cpu/ram etc.

Well, a better CPU would give you an edge, but it wouldn't as Unixlord says upgrading the GPU would make more of a difference than anything else.

What then would it take, in your opinion, to match the CPU and RAM? Or, even outdo them?

Well I would start by getting a top of the live mobo with the best chipset, then I would change CPU. If your not gonna game at REALLY high rez, stay with the HD3870

Yes, also. But I must admit that my HD3850 is pretty good for me, give just the performance I want, with truly top notch image quality.

What games and apps are you playing/using? And, at what resolutions/settings?
