Just about to start a new build (just waiting for the HSF to be delivered). So I'll be at:

My system: 4GB
Wife's system: 2GB
Server: 1GB

Plus around 3GB of assorted memory I don't have a use for right now.

I just added a 2 gig readyboost drive to my 4 gig system, does that count?

Why not.

TopDogZero · 03-27-2008, 08:44 AM

I have 4GB in my main system which is also my HTPC. I bought a 2GB flash drive not too long ago and Vista gave me the option to use ready boost (do not say ready boost on package). But since I use Vista 32bit which only sees 3.5 of my 4gigs anyway will it actually use any of the flash drive.

wallijonn · 03-27-2008, 12:32 PM

Any chance XP SP3 will allow the use of >2GB memory, to overcome its memory limitations of 3.5GB?

TQ · 03-27-2008, 12:38 PM

Sorry, no.
The 3.25 GB limitation is inherent to 32-bit operating systems. The only way to can overcome this is to use a 64-bit OS.
I'm using the RC2 of SP3 and my 32-bit XP still reports 3.25 out of 4GB.

jrefronc · 03-27-2008, 01:04 PM

I have XP SP3 and just threw another 2Gb into my system totalling 4... It only recognizes 2.75 Gb, although I noticed a performance boost anyway with games, boot and shutdown.

Scoundrel · 03-29-2008, 12:02 PM

8gigs of DDR2 6400 in my server
4gigs of DDR3 12800 in my Gaming rig
4 gigs of DDr2 6400 in my meidacenter
4gigs of DDR2 6400 memory in my HP laptop

All 64 bit versions of windows
