| 662293 | 2008-04-24 23:25:00 | Ok buddy dont worry, its not you. Its the 32bit OS your using. 32bit OS's can only "see" 3.5Gb of ram. Unfortunately thats how it is. |

| 662294 | 2008-04-24 23:29:00 | You need a 64 bit OS, and 64 bit mobo for it to use 8 GB. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 662295 | 2008-04-24 23:32:00 | Which is funny considering why put 8Gb capabilities on the mobo but not have it 64bit? (I dunno if your mobo is 64bit or not, Oh random 1) | GeneralKanos (13592) | ||

| 662297 | 2008-04-24 23:59:00 | All you want/need is the 64bit version of XP/Vista, the motherboard is ok. | feersumendjinn (64) | ||

| 662299 | 2008-04-25 07:18:00 | You should be able to run many up to date games. Just don't try Supreme Commander: FA with everything on high. Or Crysis for that matter. Otherwise, you should be fine. Make sure aa is not at a crazy setting (eg 16x aa) | SPARTAN 860 (2618) | ||
