1st build, Installing RAM with VISTA Ultimate 64

I have 4gb of RAM. What is the process of installing all 4gb? Do I install only 2gb first, then the rest after setup?

Just install it all at once.

I had 4gb in the board when I installed Vista. There was no problem.

I started with no ram

Don't fix a problem you don't have. Install with all 4gb.

Try all 4. If Vista gives you a stop error when installing take out 2GB and re-start the install (there is a known error where Vista can crash with 3 or more GB installed).

If you had to remove some ram then once installed apply SP1 to Vista and then shut the PC down and install the rest of the ram

With XP I dont think there is a problem with memory ammounts.

Remember, with 4GB you should really be using a 64bit O/S to get access to all your memory.

It may also be a good idea to download memtest and just run a single pass after installing all the ram so you know its all ok. I have had a faulty modual from the factory before.

I would've considered that an obvious joke. But sadly in this country people are not only allowed to be really F**king retarted, they benifit from it greatly. So ya you never know who's gonna read something and go "dude, watch this, i found a great idea on the internet".

Installed vista on both PCs and Laptops running with 4gb and above ram, and never encountered any problems.
This goes for both the 32bit business vista and 64bit ultimate vista versions.

guess im the only one encountering the 4gb install issue :[
i just ended up using 2gb to update.. including hotfix, then installing the other 2gb. just try it out, if it blue screen with memory issues, simply take 2gb out, update, and pop them back in.
