Was running 2GB and upgraded to another 2GB last night, but Windows is only seeing 3.2GB - is this normal?

Bios is picking up all 4GB's...

Yep, XP 32 bit can only see around that. You'll need to upgrade to x64 if you want to use it all. There's a fair few topics around here to browse in to find out more.

Hmm... what about the 32bit ver of Vista?

Mint_Sauce · 10 Nov 2007 at 14:12

nope, has to be 64bit.

cr!spy · 10 Nov 2007 at 14:20

What's the 64bit ver of Vista like with games?

It's pretty good now.

cr!spy · 10 Nov 2007 at 15:09

OK, cool cheers!

Also hows does the dual channel get effected if it only picks up 3.2gb?

Cob · 10 Nov 2007 at 15:14

It's not affected.

So both my 2GB dual channel kits will be working in dual channel?
