Vista x64 or XP Pro 32bit?

Quote from Tums:
I am thinking of upping my RAM to 8GB. With the price of RAM these days, it is not a big expense.
I don't have any program that can use more than 2GB... but with more RAM, that means I have have more programs opened and more things cached.
Tums,
You can only go up to 3.2GB RAM in a x86 (32-bit) system whether Vista or XP. The size limitation is absolute because the kernal is only 3.2GB - that's what I have been told by Microsoft techs & Dell techs.
64-bit systems are limited to 12GB.
Not sure what system you are running but if you have a 32-bit system I'd only put 4GB in there knowing that 3.2 is max.
Adding another to the consideration.
Windows 7 Beta 1 x64 is better than Vista x64. Vista 1.1 is on its way and the beta has become my main OS (my backup is xpsp3).

I have Vista 64 bit.
The OS can address more than 4GB.
(a 32 bit program is still a 32 bit program, even when it is running under a 64 bit OS)
the secret is out...
and it is ugly!
Windows7 is actually Vista 1.1
