lol ok, so anyone else has have advice?

I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium and I just downloaded Service Pack 1, which actually solved the issue of my comp reading only 3.25 GB of ram when there is actually 4. It now reads it at exactly 4 when I check my computer properties, but now my question is, should I go with Service Pack 2? I...

I definitely don't have the money right now, but when I do, you think it's worth it? I just think it sucks that I paid for 4 GB of ram and I can only use 3 and a quarter.

If I can't upgrade to 64-bit 7 from Vista 32-bit, then is my only option to buy a full version of windows 7? Or do you guys think I should just stick with Vista?

For sure, thanks. edit: If I did buy the upgrade, would I still be able to do a clean install?

So I might as well get Windows 7, but should I get the upgrade or full edition? What's the difference?

Wow really? It is 32 bit, but why does that matter? So putting 64 bit will solve it?

I have 2 sticks of 2gb a-data ram, but windows is telling me I have 3.25. I just upgraded to vista from xp, but xp told me the same thing, I just assumed the upgrade would fix it.

Ok, thanks. Also, would it be better to upgrade to vista first and then upgrade to seven from there? Also, my comp still doesn't read the upgrade. It loads the disc, but the install screen just flashes for a split second and disappears. It's a Sony Vaio upgrade, but I don't see why that would...

Hey, a little update. I did those steps and I'm using the internet right now actually. I was able to install all my necessary drivers and now it recognizes my monitor, but a little tiny issue is that it reads two monitors, the same exact one too. Kinda weird, but I was also able to hook up my...

I'm not at home right now, but I will definitely try that. Also, a little update, I put my old dvd drive in and took out the new one, fixed some of the issues. Now, windows loads up like it should, I can reformat, install, etc. For some reason, the computer still does not recognize my old hdd...

Can't even do that now. So now when I try booting from disc, it loads up windows files on that blue screen, but then when it gets to the final step of loading up the setup for installation, it freezes, and then after about 5-10 minutes, give me a blue screen, saying...

Thanks, but like I said, now Windows XP won't even install. I reformatted and now it just freezes when it gets to the final step of loading up the files for installation.

I just built a new rig, athlon 2 x2 245, asus m4a89gtd mobo, western digital 500 caviar blue hdd, 2 2gb a-data ddr3 ram sticks, ocz 500 w psu, and everything is chill, for the most part. It turns on and acts completely normal, except with the OS. Now, I'm installing XP Home and then upgrading to...

Thanks fellas, Asus it is.
