You dont actually add the memory to each core itself rather they all feed of the same memory. A 32 Bit OS can not use more than 4GB of RAM this includes the RAM in your video card so in your case you would only be able to have 3749MB of ram total rest of the RAM will just be unused and go to waste so its probably better to use 2 sticks of 1GB of RAM and 1 stick of 512k if your motherboard allows it.

Gaming computers wont need any more than 6GB any extra is pushing it.

For virtual machine and photoshop users 8-12GB of Ram is better.
