  |  Vista Reading four gigs of ram Hey I just bought four gigabytes of ram for my rig and it only reads it as 3.25 is there something special I need to do for it to read four gigs of ram, or is it just vista doesn't support that much ram because I have the 32 bit version.

| Re: Vista Reading four gigs of ram At least your vista will boot with 4 sticks. I always get a BSOD when i try to boot with 4gb of ram.

| Re: Vista Reading four gigs of ram So does it slow down my computer having the extra ram?

| Re: Vista Reading four gigs of ram No, because it will still use far more than the 2gb that you would have with 2 sticks.
