Hey thanks guys for your reply's! I was thinking.. Windows 7 is coming next year and I think it will be better than Vista (I don't really like Vista, so I will skip that one ). Windows 7 will have 32 and 64-bit versions prolly (?). But will that 32-bit version support 4gb RAM, or is it the same rule for all 32-bit OS?

Oh ok, I thought I read that it could. But what are the pros and cons of 64-bit XP? And can I switch to 64-bit without reinstalling everything or such trouble?

Hey, I entered my BIOS to check if I could hoist 4gb RAM or something, because my Windows sees only 3 of 4gb RAM. I will read more about that later, because my problem first is that my BIOS just have a few options, can't find anything about memory. (I remember a lot more options in the BIOS on my other PC) So, now I want to update my BIOS. I have a Compal IFL90 (BIOS says version 1.16) and I found a BIOS update on the Compal website. But I doubt if the file is very new, I don't know if I can use other installation files other than from the Compal website. If I can't, I don't know how to update. In the download from Compal there are a few files (including a .bat and .exe), but if I click either of them I get the message "The systemfile is not suitable for MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications" (freely translated from Dutch). Can somebody help?
