Can i use 4 gig of memory with Vista 32 bit Premium ?
and what do you mean by free ?
A lot of people seem to still be uisng XP for gaming as it is more stable. Will there not come a time when 2gb is not enough in modern games. Have we already reached this phase? As I'm still on XP and 2gb of ram.
If the £30 odd difference isn't an issue, is there much benefit from the extra gig or so that 2*2gb sticks will give, over just having 2gb in total?
If you're buying RAM now, it makes sense to just get 4GB even if you're on a 32-bit OS, purely because it's so cheap.
For what it's worth, I've recently gone from 2GB to 4GB, and I'm running Vista 32-bit. Windows reports that I have 3,327MB of RAM, and that's with a 256MB graphics card. Can't actually say that my PC feels quicker, but I've not been playing games or anything yet so that may change.
I just installed vista ulitmate 32bit and with new service pack 1 out it reports 4gigs![]()
