Ok I have finally decided to purchase parts in order to build my own computer. I am going with the 4 gigs of ram from a-data since newegg has such a good deal on the ram . Now the the reason I am asking whether I should go with xp home eddition or vista home 64-bit edition for an operating system is because of the ram I am purchasing. In some of the reviews for the ram it said that non 64-bit OS's will have only 3 gb of ram detected from the 4 gb of a-data ram. And since the only other OS that is affordable and is 64-bit is windows vista I was wondering whether I should buy it, but I am hesitent because I heard it had compatibility issues with todays hardware and software (and not to mention its a memory hogger). Below is a link to the vista os and my newegg wishlist which has the parts I am purchasing. Also tell me if the motherboard might actually cause problems with the ram.
