Vista pre-sp1 can only use 3.2 or 3.5 gb of ram,

post sp1 vista has been patched to use all 4 gigs.

vista x64 can correctly use 16 gigs or more... however 32bit applications are limited to 4gb per application.

Actually no.I'm using 4gb on Vista. At System Information it actuallys display 4.00gb but it's actually ultilize 3070mb of ram ( i think..need to check later~)ooh 8mb vs 32 mb cache for hdd? the 32mb cache will certainly perform much better compare to the 8mb cache

Since your from Malaysia,get the 640GB WD HDD, it's around 300 and and has 16mb cache

..Fast HDD imo ~.~
