yeah i think 64-bit is compatible with up to 16gb of RAM..

Take that number and multiply it by a billion. Seriously.

yep....

Windows XP x64 can support much more memory; although the theoretical memory limit a 64-bit computer can address is about 16 exabytes (16 billion gigabytes), Windows XP x64 is currently limited to 128 GB (237 bytes) of physical memory and 16 TB (244 bytes) of virtual memory.

as for 64bit xp...i think the limit is 8gb

No, the limit for 64bit XP is 128GB, not 16GB

so i shoudl get 64 bit xp instead of 32?

 

[veg1992]

depends... 64bit requires more RAM, if ur gonna go with less than 3.5gb RAM 32bit is the way to go if u go 4b or more... 64bit

64-bit doesn't require more RAM, it supports more RAM.

64-bit OS, can handle larger files, more efficiently than 32-bit.

I would stay with 32-bit for a while, until 64-bit becomes the standard.

^ really?

some1 told me that if i wanted 64bit OS for Vista, i would get 4gb instead of 2gb

 

[b1gapl]

Well it would run a little better with more RAM, if you go 64-bit.

doesnt Vista Ultimate support more than 4Gb's?

doesnt Vista Ultimate support more than 4Gb's?
