OP OP J jeller In Runtime Messages 142 Feb 11, 2008 #3 Won't work? Meaning won't be utilized, or literally will cause problems on boot or something? Or should I go 64-bit?

OP OP J jeller In Runtime Messages 142 Feb 11, 2008 #9 x38 maximus. But I already have 2 GB unopened, and I DON'T want to just not use it, and i can only find it on tigerdirect.com, not newegg. It's corsair xms2 2X1GB. Is there anything bad about 64-bit Vista?
