You won't be able to use the extra 2GB without some effort. Current plans
seem to be headed towards keeping the current 3G/1G split. Fwiw, if
you're going to spend that much money, why not purchase an Alpha? That
way you'll be able to grow beyond the 4GB as your data grows.

I think someone created patches that make a ramdisk out of the really high
memory. Try doing a search of the linux-kernel archives -- I remember
seeing it withing the past 3 or 4 months. Hope this helps!
