Struggling to find some help

Should i be doing all this testing under vista? or should i move over to XP and test the system?

use xp x64 to bench with and use the 64bit prime.

and then go play with pista vista.

vista 64 is one of the biggest issues
you need to install windows x64 with 1 stick of ram
then do all the updates then stick in the other 2gb.

get back to adecent OS and do a FRESH install... XP doesnt care about 4 gigs of ram and neither does Vista 32bit,, but 64bit can have issues with 4gb of ram until you get it installed and do some updates.

but vista 64 is a fools game my friend there is no reason in this world why you should be using it.

lol... you don't need to do all that with vista. if you grab vlite (vista's version of nlite) http://www.vlite.net/ you can slipstream sp1 into a vista disc( I've done it, but it takes a 120mins to do it) and install vista without having to pull any ram. I also used it to disable UAC out of the box.

I was refering to Lestat's statement. I've got no trouble in the past installing vista with 4GBs of ram, but some did.
