Read these and maybe it will give you an Idea. If your not using the 64 bit version of either you will notices the memory isnt reported correctly in the system information box.

That rig should be more than capable. By the way what Graphics Card do you intend to use? You may look towards Vista if it will support DX10, though it is a bit of a resource hog =]. But with 4Gig of RAM you shouldn't have a problem.
