hey guys. i hav a quick question.

i just installed 4 sticks of 1024mb corsair xm2 6400 memory.

but then when i check systems through control panel... its displayed as

"2.50 GB of Ram"

and underneath it says,

"Physical Address Extension"

what does that mean? and am i getting the use of all 4 gigs? if not im goin to return one or somtin.

when i took out 2 of them n left 2 (obviously)... it said that "2.0 GB of ram."

and with 4 it says.. "2.5 GB of ram"

ugh... this is something u hate when u dish out 600 bucks on memory n ur not even sure if they r working rite...sigh..

sorry guys i dont know much about comp. I just recently built one myself...so im just a beginner..

help me plz. i need answers!! lol
 
IF your using 32bit windows, 32bit windows can't address more than 2.50GB of RAM. Nobody would waste cash buying 4GB of RAM unless you plan to use 64bit Vista... ;)
 
i already ordered.. or paid.. preorder... w/e u get the idea..

vista ultimate.. is that 64 bit? n will i get a full use out of it?

if thats true.. then im happy.. . lol :D

huh?
 
The new Vista disc will contain both the 32bit and 64bit version of Vista [insert name of edition here. IE: Ultimate] This excludes the OEM version though.
 
wait.. so wat version shud i get? i dont know much about computer so can u plz tell me exact product name..

ex. windows vista ultimate 64 bit? (is that the correct name?)
 
hey thanks. but i checked the link lik u told me too.. but it didnt tellme whether the ultimate is 64 bit or not..

my comp can handle ultimate.. i have all top of the line component. i spent $3000 on this comp i just built... (im just hoping that i didnt squander my birthday money on a single comp).

Click to expand...

Understand that when you buy the Upgrade or Full Version of any edition of Vista it has BOTH 64BIT AND 32BIT. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer discs DO NOT have both)
