[chuck990]

hey, just looked at dxdiag and it says under graphics memory that i have 2462 mb but i running a single eah 4850 (1Gb graphics memory) any idea why?

Hi, if you are running vista it uses ram as an extension to video memory hence the value in dxdiag

 

[chuck990]

does it use all the ram? as i have 4 Gb (3.3 in 32bit) and only get 1.4 Gb extra

4GB and a 1GB GFX card is really a waste if your not running 64 bit.

but theresd lots of software that wont run on 64 bit isn't there?

Nope, your probably thinking of XP 64bit, Vista 64bit is fine.
