3 Questions about Windows Vista x64:

-Are there Software Compatibility Issues ( like in Vista 32 bits works, in 64 doesn`t)
-Will my computer be faster on x64? ( Yes, it supports x64, and i have the CD from Drivers from my Computer that also has x64 drivers. )
-It carries 3 or 4 GB from RAM?

Of course. Though the vast majority of software will run in x64. There are few exceptions, and they mainly involve stuff that touches the kernel and badly designed apps.

Not really. There are 64-bit apps that can take advantage of the architecture for speed benefit, but for the most part the increased RAM potential is what normal users will notice.

I don't understand what this means. Windows x64 can support 128GB of RAM currently.

In the third question, i meant the 32 Bits version
And i want to buy this Newegg.com - Kingston HyperX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 667 (PC2 5300) Dual Channel Kit Laptop Memory - Laptop Memory Ram.
So, if i use a 32 Bits version, will the RAM be supported?

Vista x86 typically can handle around 3.25GB of RAM, give or take. Any more, it just ignores. However, it will report the correct amount of RAM in System properties.
