September 4, 200718 yr I have Vista HEP 32bit with a Q6600 and 2GB RAM. Does it make sense or will I benefit from 4GB RAM? The way I understand it even if the extra ram is used for devices I would get the fuller use of 2.x or 3.x ram...am I reading it correct?ThanksBill
September 4, 200718 yr Installing any more than 3GB RAM with a 32-bit Windows OS will result in the extra RAM not being seen or used by the OS ie. a wasted cost and effort. If you have 2 x 1G dual channel now, put in 2 x 512M dual channel to bring you up to the 3GB usable limit.Gary 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11
