Dave Wrote:The reason they say to have more RAM in Vista is because the RAM doesn't go as far. Their addressing is different so they can support more (before we were limited to 4 GB because of the 32 bit address) They changed that, so each address accesses a larger area of memory, which means some perhaps goes to waste.
Yes, but more goes to good use than anything does to waste..
XP supports up to 4GB of ram total. Vista, supports up to 12GB of ram.
