W winterfreshpwnz Fully Optimized Messages 2,099 Aug 18, 2010 #1 I have 2 sticks of 2gb a-data ram, but windows is telling me I have 3.25. I just upgraded to vista from xp, but xp told me the same thing, I just assumed the upgrade would fix it.

OP OP W winterfreshpwnz Fully Optimized Messages 2,099 Aug 18, 2010 #3 Wow really? It is 32 bit, but why does that matter? So putting 64 bit will solve it?
winslow33 Daemon Poster Messages 861 Aug 18, 2010 #4 Yeah, 32 bit will only show that much RAM, Vista editions of 64 were as shown below Vista Basic 64-bit: 8 GB Vista Home Premium 64-bit: 16 GB Vista Business/Enterprise/Ultimate 64-bit: 128+ GB

OP OP W winterfreshpwnz Fully Optimized Messages 2,099 Aug 18, 2010 #5 So I might as well get Windows 7, but should I get the upgrade or full edition? What's the difference?

Rakuma In Runtime Messages 197 Aug 18, 2010 #6 Full edition is just if you don't have a previously installed windows OS. Upgrade will take you from your current vista and upgrade it to Win 7.

OP OP W winterfreshpwnz Fully Optimized Messages 2,099 Aug 18, 2010 #7 For sure, thanks. edit: If I did buy the upgrade, would I still be able to do a clean install?

Click to expand... No, you won't be able to do a clean install with an upgrade. Also, you can't upgrade from a 32 bit version of Vista to a 64 bit version of 7.

PeregrineStudio Solid State Member Messages 9 Aug 18, 2010 #10 Windows 7 is great anyway, so I'd do it if you have the money just kicking around. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry about it.
