Herrie_V Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 A 32bit OS has the ability to address 4 gigabytes of memory. Now you may notice after you dropped in your 4 gigs of ram it shows up and 3.25gb or 3.5gb, this is because there is other memory in your computer that is address before your RAM. This could include a video card, sound card, or anything else in your system, the RAM is the last thing that is address and gets whatever is left over.

Herrie_V Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 New installation. And no, not really except u can put more ram in your pc And they say its better to use vista 64 when u have an 64-bit cpu like all the new ones. It uses the cpu more efficient.

Sampsonite Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 watercooling is easier then you think! You just need a spot for the tank and pump, other then that its not bad. I know, lol.... I've had MANY water cooled systems I go through computers like it aint no game The computer that I have now is a little out-dated though.. Just upgraded a month ago too Its crazy how fast computers go out of date BTW, I'm runnin Windows VIsta, and my Windows experience level is 5.7! Lowest being my Hard Drive transfer rate.. Whats yours? Quote --Sampson 816-591-6592 www.kcrimshop.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slinky Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 but SLI out and into a Matrox "triple head2go" should work great! I may do it! Ive got "dual head2go" on my work computer and its awesome. I use it for work related stuff only since this thing is not a gaming rig but for what i use it for it works great. Triples on a Alienware should be teh sex hellz yeah. get a triple head to go and youd have a panoramic gaming experience.
