I just got a Microsoft weekly newsletter in my email today.

One of the new system tools it describes is the Microsoft Windows Dynamic
Cache Service. Here is the Microsoft page about it:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

It talks a lot about 64-bit operating system cache. I'm running Windows
Vista Ultimate edition 32-Bit SP1. Will this improve my memory performance
somewhat?

I just installed 4gb of high performance low latency CAS 4 rated DDR2 memory
so I'm interested in getting every little ounce of performance out of my
system.

The supported operating systems a Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 editions;
Windows Server 2003 x64 editions; Windows Server 2008 Datacenter; Windows
Server 2008 Enterprise; Windows Server 2008 Standard; Windows Vista 64-bit
Editions Service Pack 1; Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit edition; Windows
Vista Home Basic 64-bit edition; Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition;
Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit edition, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server
2008, Windows Vista.

Thanks,

Hi, Steve.

I don't understand why you are asking about a 64-bit application if you are
running 32-bit Vista.

While 64-bit computer hardware will run a 32-bit operating system (that is
the way most computers are being sold these days, it seems), a 32-bit OS
will not run 64-bit applications, even on 64-bit hardware. Note that all
the supported OSes listed are 64-bit systems. And, even on 64-bit hardware,
32-bit Vista can't use more than 4 GB RAM; in fact, because of addressing
issues, it can't use all of the 4 GB - no more than about 3.1 GB of the 4 GB
available on most systems.

I know nothing about this 64-bit software, but to use it, you would need to
install Vista x64. And an upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit can't work because
of hardware differences, you would need to do a "clean install" of Vista
x64.

Hi, again, Steve.

I took another look at that Downloads page. I see why you (and maybe other
readers) are confused. It appears that the final line under "System
Requirements", the line that mentions Vista and a couple of servers, was
supposed to have been deleted. I've sent an email to a contact at Microsoft
to see if that Downloads page can be corrected to remove the suggestion that
this 64-bit app might run on a 32-bit OS.

Thanks for bringing this apparent error to light.

Thanks, yes that did confuse me as to what to think! Thank you for
clarifying.
