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.

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.





Try archiving mail from Outlook into OneNote..

If by "archiving mail from Outlook into OneNote.." you mean when you right
click on a message and "Send to OneNote" then that functions perfectly on
x64 Windows Vista with Office 2007 (all patched to latest service packs
and
all updates).

I have looked at a x86 (32-bit) system and did not see any additional
options to archive to anything other then a PST file.

Can you elaborate on your issue?

I do archive by way of the send to OneNote feature.

This issue was raised at the very beginning and I was made aware by the
Office team that the issue would not be fixed until the next release of
Office.

I have to do some re-organization of my system to accommodate Vista 64, but
I will try it. This is the only reason left standing for me not moving to
Vista 64..
