My next build will have 8GB due to specific apps needing lots of RAM. That app will be running under a 64bit OS.
However, I will be multibooting and playing games in XP (or Vista) 32bit.
Now, if I have 4*2GB installed, will XP or Vista 32bit still work properly even if it can't address all the memory?
I don't mind losing access to half of the memory when having booted into a 32-bit OS for gaming. But it has to be stable (i.e. no funny OS or game issues due to there being more RAM installed than the OS can address).
Anybody actually tried this? (i.e. no hearsay, but real testing)?
