Another 32bit OS/4Gb RAM Issue

champ222 · 9 Mar 2009 at 18:20

I think i might just have to do it then hehe.

My current ram is Geil 6400 CPUZ says my DRAM frequency is 430 MHz

as i said, my E6300 is running at 3GHz and i'd like to keep everything as it is now.

Any suggestions on 4 GB of ram that would overclock like my Geil does at the moment, i guess most 6400 will? or should i go 8500? not much in it price wise from what i can see

My 32bit Vista shows 4gig of RAM. Though its true about 3.5gig being maximum possible.
(this also includes graphic card memory has well) as far as im aware.

It wasnt untill i did a couple of windows updates that it changed from 2.5 to 4.

64-bit XP is a separate product and not very well supported anyway.

Ive had no issues, bar a badly linked site directing me to the wrong raid driver.

I've a few bugbears about some of my favourite apps not working on XP64... but they dont work on Vista64 either.

I got 3072Mb available to use and that was with SLI 768Mb 8800GTX's

Now with a single GTX 280 1Gb it went up to 3325Mb on Vista 32bit

In 64 bit i can see all 6Gb.
