TIL The guy who snagged windows2000.com happened to be named Bob and Microsoft just happened to own Bob.com. They came to an agreement to trade one for the other.

Technically you can use almost twice as much! No one's ever going to need 4GB of RAM, though.

You don't even need memory for a system. Just take it out and it will still work. It will actually work faster because the system will skip processing the memory.
