littlefrankus · 10-26-2007, 07:53 PM

even some people who have installed 64 bit OS still cant see all the RAM even with 4 gigs installed...even though the OS can see up too 128Gigs of RAM...

Is it BIOS issue?

moidock · 11-01-2007, 11:02 AM

Sometimes is motherboard limitations, not even a BIOS update could fix that.

64-bit will cause you to get lower FPS on your games

Thanks Duke. I'm looking at > 4Gb of RAM in a new desktop, so a 64 bit OS would be the way for me to go. I've been wondering how much games would suffer, but it looks like the answer is "not much".

Thanks for the info Duke! We have to use 64-bit OS for some of our applications because the do 3D rendering of medical images. We deploy 8GB of RAM in these machines and we can see all 8 GB of RAM.
