| | Re: Will windows allocate more than 4 gig RAM? No, that is a limitation of any 32 bit version of an operating system. Since you are getting x64, you have nothing to worry about. A 64 bit OS supports more than your motherboard can handle (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit). -- Dustin Harper dharper@xxxxxx http://www.vistarip.com | Vista Resource & Information Page Was this helpful?
