Alright so lucky me I just purchased a brand new computer
i7-950 processor
EVGA E760 Classified Mobohttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188048
EVGA nvidia 295 OC GFX card
750GB WD HD sata 3gb/s
850 watt psu
and the kicker
6GB Kingston HyperX 1600 ram
Now I bet you can guess what the problem is... Vista 32 bit wont use all my ram.. from what I see its actually only using 2gb of the 6gb (what a waste!)
to install the OS I got a copy of XP from one of my gaming buddies then bought a 32 bit Update disk from my school (ultimate 32 bit). Because its from my school and a certain licensed copy it only came with the 32 bit disk... my question is this, do you think my key would work If I were to get a 64 bit disk? If it were to work could I install it on my current setup (vista ultimate 32 bit service package 2, most disks from what I understand come in sp1...) or would I have to start over from scratch?
The main issue is I am trying to play GTA 4 and it seems like its using all my ram..
Thanks for the help,
-Dan
