Weird problem after dual boot setup

I installed Vista Ultimate 64 a month ago and it was Really slow to load 5minutes plus. So i uninstalled it and installed Vista32. I have 4mb of ram.

Today i decided to try vista 64 as a dual boot and installed it into a seperate partition.

For some reason Vista 32 shows as having 4mb of ram now and vista 64 shows 3.32

Any Idea why that would be??


Vista 64 is working well this time so is it possible or advisable just use it to upgrade the vista 32 install.

Re: Weird problem after dual boot setup

Ok I've fixed this myself...

x86 had sp1 installed so showed 4gb X64 had not had sp1 installed so showed 3.3gb because the mobo was only showing 3.3 gb as memory remapping was off (asus p5bse) switched that on and ACPI to S3 and everything is as it should be.
