I moved this here. It was about the 3.2 GB limitation

I was reading an old thread, and this place seems morbidly threatened by old threads, so I'm cloaking it within a new message here:

The way I recall reading that older Windows versions before 64-bit worked, they have addressing space problems. This can be exacerbated (hmm? How should I have spelled that? -- fixed -- ) by video cards with large amounts of RAM on them. Windows uses up the available addresses it has for accessing the RAM and you are wasting your money buying more than the 3 GBs if you don't upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit.

Interestingly, OCZ released matched pairs of 1.5 GB DIMMs a couple of years back, when RAM cost somewhat more, and hardly anyone bought them. I kinda think that they dropped that particular dual channel pair from their line within a few months of release.

P. S. After writing this in the particular forum it landed in, I can't be sure how I ended up here, so I've moved it from "Arcanum Discussion", to "General Discussion", since even if the original thread I'd been reading was misplaced, I'd just as soon get started here doing things the right way, before I try to buck the system!

 

I believe he just answers a question asked. But instead of taking his shovel and grave dig, he starts a new thread about it in another section.

 

So... he escapes punishment on a legality?
