| Re: 4 GB RAM for: Vista 32-bit Home Premium, Gaming, Video-editing? It recognizes like 3.2 I have heard. So it's a huge toss up between 2x2GB DC vs 3x1GB cheapos, vs 2GB+1GB.

| Re: 4 GB RAM for: Vista 32-bit Home Premium, Gaming, Video-editing? The OS won't read all of the ram and it might show up as 3.25GB. You need a 64-bit OS for 4GB of ram.

| Re: 4 GB RAM for: Vista 32-bit Home Premium, Gaming, Video-editing? x38 maximus. But I already have 2 GB unopened, and I DON'T want to just not use it, and i can only find it on tigerdirect.com, not newegg. It's corsair xms2 2X1GB. Is there anything bad about 64-bit Vista? |
