64 Bit Vista and more than 4 GB RAM

520 points posted to Desktops, XPS products by dellrox Jul 24

HP has the option for 64 bit Vista and 32 bit Vista, why not Dell? Also, put the option in to XPS 620 desktops for more than 4GB RAM. You do this for Dell Precision Workstations, why not Home Gaming Desktops.

Look into this for me please.

I promoted it, but if you use a 64-bit OS disc it will work with the key on the system, worked on my XPS 420.

4GB RAM would allready need an 33bit system. the 64-bit OS is therefore needed for 4GB-onwards.

agree, indeed.

When I recently purchased my new Laptop I asked for both operating system disks 32 and 64 bit....both were sent at no charge....

With a 32-bit OS thew system recognizes a maximum of 3.5 GB RAM. 64 bit recognizes everything.

although i support this, there's no point
a lot of software does not support more than 4gb ram, and performance gains for the marginal gbs is minimal
