If you want the full 4GB you will need to look at running a 64bit OS - What graphics card do you have?

nope, price at the moment. and I figured quad would be better than a slightly higher clock on a duo chip. I'm not sure. I do alot of encoding and rendering. if I feel it's still too slow, I'll get a faster chip. the shuttle barebones comes with a motherboard, with onboard video, vga, AND dvi.. i'm already running dual monitors, so I thought that would work perfect.. but now that you ask, I realize that the onboard video might not support solidworks' "realview".. I've got an nVidia 7600gs, not sure if that works, or if I can edit the driver to make it a "quadro".
my current pc has an ATI 9800pro in it mod'd to a "FireGL X2", and it works great, but it's an agp card.
and 64bit, yes :)
