| Will Vista Home Premium 64 Bit work OK with 2 GB of Ram? I currently have 2 x 1 GB of Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC8500 on my Asus P5E. Looking to upgrade Vista to 64 Bit. Right now...I need to spend money on new hard drives, since my 2 x 74 GB Raptors are running out of room. Looking into 2 x WD6400AAKS 640 GB drives in RAID 0 and waiting to upgrade the memory down the road. Will I notice slowdowns with 2 GB of ram? Any advice is welcome... Thanks Bob |

| Re: Will Vista Home Premium 64 Bit work OK with 2 GB of Ram? I only run 2Gb of memory on Vista x64 with 4Gb of USB flash memory I had kicking around which I purely use for readyboost. Everything is responsive and quick to load here. |
