Never had an issue with stability since I got Win 7 64. And the bigger point is that if you're not going 64 bit then getting more than 3 GB of RAM is a waste because you cannot use it.
my 32bit version sees all 4 gigs of my ram, but yes going bigger than 4 would be a waste.
Otherwise just from my experience, 64bit was problematic.
Anyways, 250 sounds pretty decent.

It can't address all 4 gigs, though, since some of that is reserved for things like your graphics card, keyboard, mouse, network card, etc. The way the computer talks to all the devices is it reads and writes to their specific memory address. Back in the day those were set at the top of the 4 GB addressable with 32-bit addressing and everything was fine with no overlap. That's no longer the case. With 64-bit OS's you can address 2^64 bits, which is huge. It's 4 GB * 4 GB.
