are you talkin about the 512 mb?

I should still be ok to run all the latest games, ill just have to wait to get max performance until i upgrade to vista. am i right?

What 512mb?

But on your PC, you'll see a max of 2.5gb on your PC

Blame 32bit Operating Systems, if you get a 64bit Operating System then this wouldn't be an issue

What if I upgrade to Xp Pro 64.....Im just worried about running all my programs I need them.......

And if i do decide to keep my 32-bit OS.....should i only get 2gb of ram???? I think i want to go with the quad still, becuase youre right i need room to upgrade in the future.....

They should all work.. if not... you could run it in Compatibility Mode of Windows XP and have it run on an older Operating System

 

[dario03]

Wouldn't he see 3.5gb of ram? Or does 32bit windows use 4gb but only show up to 3gb.

For example.....I still play Quake 2 everyone once in a great while....who knows if that will run on Vista or Xp 64
