Any of the NT based OS's can use 4gb. Some of ram is used by the system
itself, leaving about 3.8gb of useable ram for the OS.

The Xeon CPU's have come down quite a bit in price, and the newer versions
have a feature called hyperthreading, which may or may not help with
Photoshop (depends on the operation being performed). Since dual P4's are
not available, someone who wants a fast PC should definitely consider the
Xeons. The price of a dual G4 and dual Xeon are comparable.

Here's the results of a quick & dirty PS Guassian blur test: dual G4 - 25
seconds, dual Athlon MP1800 - 15 seconds, dual 2.2 Xeon - 8 seconds.
