Default Re: Windows OS that will recognize more than 6GB of Ram

Apparently nobody uses the Search feature >.<

A 64-bit version of Windows (XP, Vista, etc) will be what you're looking for. 32-bit OS's only recognize up to 3.5GB of RAM, and 64-bit OS's will recognize 4GB +.

Also...what in the world do you need 6GB of RAM for?
