Well, in order to use above 3gb you need a 64bit operating system. Your current OS is 32bit.

It should give you a refund...just explain the matter, it's a common mistake made by people...thinking they can use more RAM in a 32bit OS.

More RAM is always better. 2gb is pleanty though. I don't really know about the ns thing, ns = nanosecond...I would assume that the lower the better, but I don't know.
