Asus P5B Deluxe WiFi/AP
Artic Freezer 7 Pro
BFG 8800GTX OC2
X-fi XtremeMusic
850W Enermax Galaxy PSU
and want to buy 4 GB of RAM. i recenlty saw on alot of forums that Vista and XP 32-bit doesnt support 4GB RAM(it does but it doesnt show). so i thought that i will buy Vista Ultimate 64-bit and 4 GB of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220227
this RAM. what i want to ask is, will it be better to buy high performance 2GB RAM http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=491422 and still use Vista 64-bit or should i rather now buy the 4 gigs and get it done and over with??? i am also planning to OC my PC (want CPU to run at 3GHz) and want to know if that will affect my RAM??
P.S - does anyone know if current games (HL2, CS:S, BF2, CoH, C&C3, FEAR) will be as playable on Vista 64-bit as on 32-bit??
