vista and 4gigs of ram

[cheap]

Im currently running vista with 2gigs of memory and am really tempted by the low prices of ddr2. are there any known issues with running 4gigs in vista?? can i still successfully overclock??

im using a asus P5W64 ws professional motherboard and 2 1gig sticks of 6400

I am using 4gb in Ultimate 64-bit. It works fine.

what motherboard are you using? are you overclocking it?

I think you`ll need a 64-bit OS, but other than that it should work fine

Reports state that 4gb is much better than 2 as the o/s is actually able to use it this time.

32 bit wont use the 4gb but the 64 bit will

Go for it been using 4gb with ultimate 64 for a while and i'm loving it to bits. Don't worry about overclocking if u have a good set of ram it will be fine, i can keep my Q6600 @ 3.6ghz even with my 4gb of ram at 1400mhz(ish) (reaper 1066 4X1gb).

been running 32bit and 64bit vista ultimate on 2 sep drives using 2 x 2gb OCZ PC5300, not done enough with either to see any benefit apart from 4gb showing up in my computer

In 32bit mode you won't get 4gig of RAM allocated, only 3.25GB
