You can easily play all games at max, try getting World in Conflict or Crysis to test it out.

| Crysis will seriously stress test your computer, epically if it has Vista, in which case you can be using the DX10 shading.

Well, some fun games are Battlefield 2 and 2142, and even though they aren't all that graphics intensive, they're really fun.
BF2 Sells for 9.99 at best buy and online retailers.
The Orange Box, Counter Strike.
You can get Half Life 2: Deathmatch for free with NVIDIA Cards, which is an online shooter.
America's Army, Call of Duty 4, NFS ProStreet, Command and Conquer 3, Flight Simulator X if you into that kind of thing, and the list goes on.
Take a look at these if you want to.

| That system should handle most games at high settings, obviously with the exception of Crysis.

crysis will be playable under high / very high for the most part.
keyword: playable, not 60+ fps.

Bioshock should run smoothly on your machine. It's a great game I got it for 360 and it was awesome.

I heard most people saying 3gb+ is an extreme waste since your system wont be able to utilize all of it anyways.

Only a waste to stubborn people who won't give up their 32-bit OSes. I run a 64-bit OS that happily recognizes all 4GB of my RAM.
People just can't get over the old "64-bit has driver issues and software incompatibility blah blah", that was years ago, it's time to realize things have changed a LOT. Both I and one of my friends have been running 64-bit OSes for quite a while now, neither of us have had a single driver issue even throughout 2 upgrades. Only software issue either of us had was Maplestory, which now works fine on 64-bit anyway.

You are exactly right. At the moment I'm running 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate and I have not had a single problem. Its time for all of you 32-bit lovers to put your old OSs down and try something new. You never know, you might like it...
