I have 4 ports for RAM, but am only using 2 with 2gb each.
Motherboard? is limiting the output to 3.18 no matter if i add
4gb more. Would a PCI memory card do anything at all??

I just did some research, and Win7 ultimate should support up to 192gb memory.
My Intel DQ45CB should be able to use 16gb if i use DDR2 800.
I guess I should have looked into the specs before I bought RAM.

As far as the 64 bit, I tried it, and found that there are way too many programs,
upgrades and apps that either wouldn't work, weren't compatible, or just plain didn't exist.
I'll wait a few more years 'til the 64 bit has better support.

I'll try the DDR2 800. I think it will work. Am I right?
