Today Graphic card already 1GB.... And for that kind of graphic card money spent, there is no reason not getting at least 4GB...
Thus my conclusion is rather simple; We gamers have no choice but to upgrade to 64 bit OS already....  |

simply, so it is nothing wrong to installed 4gb of ram right? there is no system complications at all right?
since it applies to all 32bits OS, using XP pro will not solve the issue unless a 64bit os right? This post has been edited by gac: Aug 29 2008, 05:54 PM |

My system currently is using 8GB of RAM
 Because of this , I have to install Vista Ultimate x64 in order to utilize the 8GB memory  Windows Vista Edition 64-bit maximum memory support Home Basic -> 8 GB Home Premium -> 16 GB Ultimate -> 128+ GB Business -> 128+ GB Enterprise -> 128+ GB But with Vista 64bit system, you would have software compatibility issues & problems....  Some of the program/software cannot run "NORMALly" as usual, and some can cause system hang. Example like Winzip (doesn't have 64bit yet), only can encrypt & decrypt, others advance functions cannot be used... |

Like project "Longhorn", it may also cancelled or the features might changed before the RTM release > it actually become Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. One more thing, Microsoft technologies are always similiar in their core. It will never changed. Same windows, same management consoles and same backward-compatible kernels. There is no point waiting coz Microsoft decision will be very predictable. Whatever outcome from project Vienna will be nearly the same as Vista and Server 2008. Two of the worst factors are the licensing and activation method. They might get worse for users in future release of Windows operating systems. unless you are used to use pirated copies... |
