Hey everyone,
I just ordered 4GBs of ram. I know my 32-bit OS (Vista Home Premium) system will not see/use all 4GB of ram but I do know it can see up to 3GBs. On the other hand I also herd 32-bit windows will see 3.5GBs. Which one is it? Would suck to waste a GB of ram just so the dual channel on the board will work. My mobo can only take up to 1GB stick max per ram bank and there are 4 ram banks. Got to use all 4 banks if I want 3GB+ of ram.
