Isnt the Home premium n all 32 bitOriginally Posted by clocker
Is there any other version?
But yes, you are correct...32bit will only recognize @ 3.25GB.
U will need to confirm the version of vista before advsising on how much additional ram can be added ..
The more the Ram the faster u can go in/out of hibernation

Yes, really. It's to do with Vista pre-caching, which can be turmned off.
e.g. If you have 2gb of ram, it will take (example) 4 mins to start up and finish caching your big apps in to the ram, then, loading for example photoshop might take 18 seconds.
If you turn the ram caching off, vista will take 2 mins to start, but loading photoshop might take a minute by itself. It's a new feature implemented with vista. The more ram, the slower the start up, but the quicker the application launch.
Now go away.

how does it decide which apps to cache?
If the option is turned off then loads times vary?

The vista version I have is Vista Business, is that 32bit or 64?
And thanks for the replies, I will remove the 512stick and add a 2gig one. And just out of curiosity, are there 3gig sticks so I can have a total of four e-peens?

Right click on My computer and go to properties, if will say it there. I don't know of any 3 gig sticks but they have some very reasonable 2X2 4 gig sets available on Newegg. 4 gigs are better than 3
Never thought I would see the day my friend but I have to disagree with you here. I have Vista Ultimate 32 installed ATM and It's recognizing a cool 6 gig's of ram. 3-2 gig sticks of G-Skill 1000Is there any other version?
But yes, you are correct...32bit will only recognize @ 3.25GB.I believe the over 2 gig thing is only on XP
I know I know "screens or it didn't happen"
On a side note. I noticed the ImageShack toolbar I love will not work with the new FF3 dammit!
Also something fishy must have happened my CPU is running @ Stock speed not down from 3.2 !? Maybe a restart?? I need to look into it.
EDIT: I just realized I added 2 new 750 gig HDD's and flashed a new Bios so I have to redo my setting and take the "Vista Challenge" again Does anyone ever get a 6.0??

5.9 is currently the highest possible score.
MS says it will adjust the rating system as hardware advances.
BTW...you are being tricked re: the RAM.
Recognizing the amount of installed RAM and being able to use it are two different things.
AFAIK, a 32 bit system is simply not capable of addressing that much memory...see here or here.

Ah I see you are right as usual you damn supernerd!! Everest and other programs all say 3581 MB so I guess it's a waste to even have the 3rd stick in there huh?

I believe that third stick also kills Dual Channel mode. I know back when I played WoW I had 2GB of memory (2x 512MB 1x 1GB) I removed the 1GB stick and replaced it with 2x 512MB sticks and more than doubled my FPS..
Never thought it could have been my ram until I could actually play the game lag free
