Misha Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 When I built my system I over did the memory and built it with 4gig of ram. Currently I am running XP pro but my Vista Ultimate will arrive today. Windows XP in control panel shows system memory as 2.5 gig. If Vista 32bit address the same way it should show the same. My question is it possible to create a ram drive before Vista loads and place the swap file on the 1.5gig that Windows can't address? Sorry if this was asked before.Thank in Advance!!!

fizban2 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 vista 32 bit will recogonize the full 4 gig of memory, though if you can it would be better used if you were on a 64-bit system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 my current build specs are as follows,Case: Thermaltake Armor (with 250mm side fan)CPU: Intel 6800 Extreme @ 3.3ghzCPU Cooler: Vigor Gaming Monsoon IIMemory: 4gig OCZ DDR2 PC8500 Plat.Video: 2 x EVGA 8800GTX in SLIHD: 4 x WD Caviar SE16 SATA2(3 internal & 1 external)DVD 1: Plextor 755SADVD 2: HP DVD 840EPS: Enermax Galaxy 1000 wattOS: XP Professional / Vista UltimateAlthough my system could handle the 64bit version most of my software wouldn't. I was just wondering if indeed Vista had the same memory mapping issue as XP did, and if it did could I make the ram drive to speed up the system by placing the swap file there instead of on a hard drive.Thanks again.
