Question：hi just wanting to know if how and y i should install vista 64 bit on to my pc and what requirements does my pc need to have for vista 64 i currently am using vista 32 bit os on my pc but it doesnt seem to run properly i have a intel core duo cpu E8400 @ 3.00 ghz with 4gb of ram is this compatable for vista 64 ? if so how do i go about changing it from being 32 bit to a 64 bit version
Answer 1：Hello Binn1980,
Thank you for posting. The simple answer to your question is how the two use ram. The 32 bit version has a max limit of 4 gigs of ram that it will see, where as the 64 bit can see and use more than 4 gigs of ram. You should be just fine with the 32 bit version unless you install more than 4 gigs of ram on your system. Another thing is that the 64 bit version requires all drivers for devices to be 64 bit as well, which hasn't been full adopted by all device manufacters just yet.
Please let me know if this helps you.

Answer 2：again you are saying 32 bit supports 4 gigs ram? i am confused should i be upgrading to 4 from 3 or is this a waste?
- Maximum Memory Capacity: 4096MB
- Currently Installed Memory: 3GB
- Available Memory Slots: 0
- Total Memory Slots: 4
- Dual Channel Support: Yes
- CPU Manufacturer: AuthenticAMD
- CPU Family: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ Model 11, Stepping 2
- CPU Speed: 2400 MHz
- Although the memory can be installed one module at a time, the best performance comes from using matched pairs of modules.
Q: Will my system recognize the maximum upgrade?
A: Possibly
How much memory your Windows OS will recognize depends on which version of Windows you are running. 32-bit versions of Windows will see (and utilize) only 3GB or 3.5GB. To utilize more memory, install a 64-bit version of your OS.
Q: How much memory can my computer handle?
A: 4096MB.
Adding the maximum amount of memory will improve performance and help extend the useful life of your system as you run increasingly demanding software applications in the future.
