Vista Ultimate & Memory

jpd1977uk · 8 Aug 2009 at 10:40

I'm thinking of buiding a new system with Vista Ultimate OEM installed on it.

How much memory will it see? I'm thinking of putting at least 4Gb in.

Just the same as other versions, if you're using x64 it will see all.

4 gig is the norm nowadays mate. Just make sure you get a 64bit os

If you dont get the 64bit you will see about 3.5 i never like 64 bit OS but i get 3581 total on 32bit with 4GB

64 bit O/S has literally no problems now.

Run 64 bit no trouble runs like a dream, as sig 8gb fitted and showed from first boot, no trouble

How much memory the system will be able to address is really dependent on weather you're either using a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. If you have 4GB of RAM installed, for the system to be able to address it all, you will need to be using a fully functional 64-bit system which obviously entails installing a 64-bit operating system. 64-bit is without a doubt the way to go.
