    Do I need to do anything special after V 64 is installed?

    I have found all the 64 bit drivers that I need for all my components and all 64 bit software and have it ready when I install V64 on my new build. Is there anything special that I am going to need to do during install or after install that isn't in the norm when it comes to installation???

    The only thing to be aware of is that on a few systems Vista x64 will not install with 4 or more gig of ram

    z3r010,
    If Vista will not install on a PC with more than 4 gig of ram is it possible to install with 3 gig of ram then add the ram after the install and it all should work? Thank You

    The system must be patched after the install has finished and before the extra ram goes in.

    Error message when you try to install Windows Vista on a computer that uses more than 3 GB of RAM: "STOP 0x0000000A"

    Well, I have 4gb of ram. Maybe I should install only 2gb just to make sure. Also, why is this happening?

    Most boards are fine, just load it up with all the ram in and if you run into any problems just knock it down to 2gig.

    As for why it does it, its just a bug

    I thought you would know all z. I am surprised.

    I must have knocked the donations link out of the template at some point I have posted a link in the other thread until I fix the template.

    Thank you
