Do you need ultimate? Home Premium is already good enough for everyday hardcore usage

QUOTE(chris99 @ Sep 12 2008, 09:38 AM) My system currently is using 8GB of RAM That's right chris99 since i changed to Vista 64 bit as to accommodate my 4GB RAM i can't install my samsung hp application, counter-strike condition zero game & some really needed old software. 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...  |

Displaying full amount of RAM doesn't mean that full amount is utilized.
