RAM
Well, I read up on this issue since I don't use OneNote or Outlook and find
myself in awe of MS's lack of support for one of their own key products. Hope they actually fix it with the next update to OneNote. "Mike Hall - MVP" wrote in message ... "Mark H" wrote in message ... Not sure why you believe this to be an x64 or Vista issue. Sounds like an Office issue. I agree some individuals may have incompatibility issues. There are simply too many different standards out there. But, those same individuals might be surprised to know the same issues occur with the x86 version at nearly the same frequency. I simply stated I have had no compatibility issues even though I've changed hard drives, memory, CPU and installed various software items over the last year and one-half. This will not be the case for everyone. But, it is not the issue it used to be with XPx64. "Mike Hall - MVP" wrote in message ... "Mark H" wrote in message ... I, and probably many others, would have to say Vista x64 has come a long way on the compatibility issue. I have yet to run into a problem with x64 compatibility since Vista was released. "Victek" wrote in message ... Hello I hope you can help me with an issue : My PC is Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9450 2.66GHz windows Vista Ultimate 32 bits 8,00GB ram. My brother wants my 2 2GB memory dim because he says 32 bits systems don't recognize RAM over 4GB. The system says 8GB, and the motherboard Asus P5E CHIPSET X38 supports 8GB. Is he right and I have 4 more GB Ram for nothing, or is the ram ayhow helpfull and I showld keep it as it is ? Thankx Maria Dulce Unfortunately 4 gigs is the maximum that a 32-bit OS can use. In fact, because some of the address spaces are reserved for hardware (such as the ram on the video card) the OS actually only has 3.X gigs available to it. Try reducing the ram to four gigs and observe your PC's performance - you should not see any difference. 64-bit OS's exist, but there are still compatibility issues. They are the future though, so you're brother may have to return the ram in a year or two g.
