Hiya Guys

I have just finished my new built system, and I have installed XP 64Bit Professional.
I have 4GB of ram in the system, and I thought that the 32bit version of SP wouldn't regognise this amount of Ram.

I looked on the microsoft website earlier though, and it looks like XP Pro 32 bit does support up to 4GB of ram!

Can this be true?

Because I am getting a little hacked off at the amount of stuff that XP 64 doesn't support, and I might go back to 32Bit...

Cheers

Its mainly Itunes, and Zone Alarm.
2 Bits of sofware that I need to run on my PC, and they dont work with 64bit!

I can live without them if it means keeping my 4GB of ram. But looking at the microsoft site, why would they say it supports 4GB if the 32bit version doesnt?!
 
Not the latest version.
Maybe they'll release a new one soon and sort it out.
But for now, my ipod wont be getting any new songs...

Lord Filbuster. Are you sure this is the case? I have seen a few opinions either way so far.
Some say that although it wont show as having 4gb, it still will use that amount.
I'm not convinced...
 
I am not too sure about vista yet.
It hasn't been out long enough, and I dont like the benchmarks that put it 10% down on performance over XP. (And yes, I know this has been the same for every new operating system that MS has brought out. But why go slower, when XP does the same stuff! - Except Itunes that is).

I might upgrade at a later date.

For now, I'll have to get used to the "This program does not run on a 64 bit operating system" message. :(
