So i know that you cant use more that 4GB of RAM on a 32 bit computer, but does this mean if the CPU is 64 bit and my OS is 32 bit i can use 6GB of RAM, or is the OS limiting it to 4GB. Thanks

32 bit windows os will limit your ram to 4gb, 64-bit os varies depending on which os you choose to use

It's completely blown out of proportion. Also if you're the least bit worried about data gathering then you should go live in a cave a 1000Km from the nearest establishment simply because every device and every entity gathers information these days. In the current era privacy is just fallacy and nothing more.
