Pretty sure any version of Vista with SP1 will recognize 4 gigs, and now XP with sp3 will also see 4 gigs.

if u have a board that runs 8 gigs any os will recognize it it may not us it until it needs it, it will run on say 4 gigs then then when u need the other gigs the will kick in. Mr Steve u can run ya 3 24 inchers wit that no problem

with SLi you can only run one monitor.

No he's not, when u run SLI u only can feed 1 monitor.

When he switch SLI off he can feed 4.

And it has nothing to do with how much ram u have.

And u say the OS use the "invisible" ram when it needs it, is

When u have an 32-bit OS, u can install 4GB, but windows 32-bit can only adress 4GB memory total.

Thats incl your video ram on your videocards.

So with his dual GTX cards, he will only see (and use) ~2,75GB in windows.

I had something more to type ha

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

sorry about the misinformation thats how i was informed by a local computer tech guy nit to long ago so i figured he knew his stuff. sorry fellas.

so in other words, 4gb on vista 32 is still a waste.....in my case anyway since i have dual 8800gtx (768mb each).

well that sucks!

heheh mines more then a few years old, and still kicking it. Susprised I can still play games with full graphics. Overclocking ftw!!

Nice to see your rig again steve, looks like your keeping good care of her

Then u have to switch to 64-bit, just as i did.

And it has nothing to do with yor videocards.

I stepped up from 2 to 4 gigs a few weeks ago because of the low prices right now, and didnt see any difference...
