Alright, i just building a new computer.. Pretty good PC.
And i got up to 4gb of ram (Was planning to shove up to 8Gb)

But i was told 32bit OS can only use up to 3GB max =/

So im kinda stuck in choosing which OS to use

1. XP Pro 64bit
2. Vista Ultimate 32bit
3. Vista Ultimate 64bit

My Computer Specs
CPU: Q6600 Quad Core Overclocking to 4Ghz
Motherboard: ASUS P5KE Wifi
Videocard: MSI 8800 GTS 512mb Overclocked
Memory (RAM): 4gb overclocked Geil Ram
HDD: 1.5TB

So yup, need some suggestions on the OS =/

Yea, i heard a 64bit can run things in 32bit if the software won't run?

"The only problem is that they're quite expensive"
*Cough* torrents *cough*

ahaha.. i pay alot for the hardware.. but im a tightass when it comes to software ≥p

That's some nice hardware.

How much did you pay for it?



I say XP x64 is a good choice. I don't like Vista much, cause it's slow, but with something powerful like yours, it may not be that slow. You can always run multiple OS.

Yup, i was deciding on installing 4 differ OS
32/64 XP
32/64 Vista

and the system only costed me like 1.2K-1.4K
HDD and burner etc from my old PC saved me like alota money
Also dun needa buy monitor etc, only the destop (I built it myself)

QUAD core!? >>> def >>> 2. Vista Ultimate 32bit   but you have to install sp1 too,..else vista sucks!

then why not Vista 64bit??

Im jsut scared if i go onto 64bit, then some of the 32bit won't run =/
And since i got so much memory, think i should go quad OS?

like have
32/64 XP
32/64 Vista

all installed
====================

Unless someone can comfirm that 64bit can run 100% everything a 32bit can

I'm also interested concerning 64bit functionality.

If wee can use 64bit sets to make the most of our CPUs while running a hog like Vista it can be compensated.
