He fails to mention overclocking RAM if it’s DDR2 or DDR3 to make the idea of adding more RAM less necessary. To simple readers who couldn’t understand the basic words like kernel, etc– poor you.

Honestly, I think 4GB, even at 800MhZ is pretty shitty, even in Windows 7 (though the best of all systems I’ve tried), so once I get home, I’m gonna overclock the 4GB to however much it will allow that is safe. Yep, I’ll need to read some things first.

It would be nice if Aqud could speak English or at least have someone edit his comments before sharing with everyone.

Folks
I have a very very basic question. We cant use 4GIG because memory is taken up by devices so we may end up with 3GIG or less. Totally understand.
1) What does this have to do with 4GIG? If i had 3gig, would not same 1GIG be taken away? How will 64bit OS help here unless i increase above 4GIG? Can you please let me know – i am trying to decide whether to get 4gig in new PC on 32bit Vista, but i am afraid of getting 64bit OS…
Thanks,
Arkadiy

Whenever the discussion becomes too technical for you Sanjay, just insert the word ‘Pants’ as a substitute for any of the big words.

“This allows windows to make use of ALL the (Pants). What doesn’t change is the (Pants) mode. Windows has a built-in maximum of 2GB for (Pants) mode. By using the /3GB switch the (Pants) mode even gets decreased to 1GB.”

Makes sense, actually! Let’s substitute calories for all references to GB. Even funnier, and easier to comprehend!

At least it will give you a laugh. The rest of us enjoy the depth of discord, because we are rocket scientists. Technical discussions? Big words? Amazing concepts? Bring it on!

I prefer to run my Athlon 64 on a diet of FOSS using Mepis64 bit GNU/Linux. It’s faster. More secure. Most stable. FREE.

what the hell is this about? I mean if we wanted white papers wouldn’t we be reading them in the first place? This is not only not useful to anyone who wants to do anything about memory addressing, but honestly, what’s the point of this mental machination? It says nothing practical to anything about anyone.

What about us po’ folk with laptops that only expand to 2gb ram max. (still quite common in the market)?!? 4gb+ and 64bit is really a waste of money for us!

basically there are soo many options of using a 64 bit platform i wouldnt know why you would want to use more than 3gb or even 2gb ram on a x86 platform. with 2 gb ram any x86 platform rocks and with all that memory it is hard to even use all of it. i knw cuz i installed 4gb of ram in my amd machine. x64 rocks but long way away from being ready. windows xp rocks and will do until it slowly dies away.
