Mushkin Ascent 8000(100mhz) and E8400

Alright I have it 6 hours stable :D
But I realized i'm a dumbass and have the 32bit version of vista intalled lol, so I'm gonna go blow out the 32 and throw in the 64 bit.... whats the point of having 4gig of ram when you are only using 3 with the 32bit os right?

the work never ends lol

So I'm assuming install everything with the standard clock?

makes no difference.

You won't see any extra benefit.

[mattlef]

you mean I wont see a difference between installing with standard or oc? or that I wont notice the difference between the 32 and 64 bit os?

He means you wont see a big difference in the usage of the whole 4 gb kit of yer ram from the 3.25 gbs that you can only use with the 32 bit operating system.

Granted, there wont be a massive increase in performance, but having that extra 500megs of physical ram is never a bad thing.... as well it goes down to the whole "I paid for 4, i want to use 4" type of arguement.

true im happy with xp even though i like vista its just much easier for me to use xp i use both xp and vista but granted i spend almost 90 percent of my time on xp.

You still don't your full 4gb of memory. 64bit still ends up with less like 3.5 or 3.7

And you don't need Vista for 64bit Xp has a perfectly fine solution.

I actually haven't encountered any issues with Vista, and for some reason, I've actually gotten used to it, to the point I prefer it over XP...

Eh?

If you have remapping enabled on your x64 system, you should be getting your full 4 GB.

I have my full 4 GB & full 8 GB available on both systems; one using a P5B Deluxe; the other a P5Q Deluxe.

Nope.

The system will "know" it has 4gb

But your OS will still have less just like a 32bit OS.
